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.

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.

The difficulty with any sort of esteem is that more is expected of you.

I work out the other bits, too, but I need to know what I look like, very early on. And then it's like a template; I'll fill that person out. If I get that out of the way, then I'm all right.

I don`t like reading scripts very much. I like it better for someone to just explain to me what it is about this story.

There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.

In contrast, the control you have in a theatre is very attractive to me.
