I have no control over a film. I don't know what will be left on the cutting floor.
Most things don't work out as expected, but what happens instead often turns out to be the good stuff.
I trained as a designer, so I'm always terribly keen about what I'm going to look like.
I'm always fearful. … Fear generates in you a huge energy. You can use it. When I feel that mounting fear, I think, 'Oh, yes, there it is!' It's like petrol.
I like to push myself beyond the limit every now and again.
I played Iris Murdoch, who had not long died, and I felt the responsibility very heavy on my shoulders.
