Never fall out of love with life

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.

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

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

The only real failure is the failure to try.

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.
