I think you can teach people a technique - you can teach them how to use their voices, how to breathe properly, how to move their limbs a certain way. But to actually explain how one performs comedy or drama or tragedy isn't the same as the movements one makes.

I trained as a designer, so I'm always terribly keen about what I'm going to look like.

Most things don't work out as expected, but what happens instead often turns out to be the good stuff.

Filming is completely - was totally new to me ... I had a movie career which wasn't supposed to be, so I couldn't be more thrilled. For those who work, parts seem to get more interesting.

Work certainly does help fill a void.

The only real failure is the failure to try.

I am so thrilled to be nominated for something I loved working on every single day.
