People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Children have become disengaged from nature and we need to reintroduce them to the pleasure that it brings. If we do that they will care for it. Through the simple act of planting a tree we can open their eyes to nature's beauty.

I don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down.

This is just the loveliest news. I'm so happy for everybody involved, and so proud to have been part of the wonderful experience that Philomena has been.

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

We get up in the morning. We do our best. Nothing else matters.

Seriously, though, I think I never ceased to be grateful of the fact that I am able to do a job that I really love - I never got over that.
