The more I do, the more frightened I get. But that is essential. Otherwise why would I go on doing it?

I don't think anybody can be told how to act. I think you can give advice. But you have to find your own way through it.

It was good to learn so early. They're not going to be kind to you. You have to do it and get on, and then gulp down and get better.

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 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 couldn't be a one-woman show, since I wouldn't have anybody to bounce off from. Once you're out there, dribbling on, you have nobody to interrupt you. I love being part of a company, and telling a story.
