In the theatre you can change things ever so slightly; it's an organic thing. Whereas in film you only have that chance on the day, and you have no control over it at all.

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.

There are very few things that surprise me.

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

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.

I have a completely new knee. It's brilliant. I am not feeling my age at all. I feel about 43, a willowy blonde 43 years old with long legs.

I am so thrilled to be nominated for something I loved working on every single day.
