Work certainly does help fill a void.

I just feel incredibly lucky to be employed when there are so many actors and actresses who are not employed. That's why, you know, I sometimes feel desperate, in case I'm not going to be cast again.

I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.

I felt quite a responsibility when I played Elizabeth I but nobody here remembers her! And then I felt a responsibility when I played Queen Victoria but not many people remember her.

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

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.

I've always loved painting, although I never show anyone what I've done. Mainly because I don't do it well. But it's like a form of visual diary for me. A way of fixing things in my mind.
