I never felt being an actor or making a movie was an easy thing to do.

It's challenging as an actor to let go but I had some pleasure out of it too. To not have the effort of having to present myself is quite liberating.

I like travelling and if I have to come to Hollywood to make a movie I will, but otherwise I'd never move there. It's very much an industry town and that doesn't really interest me.

Acting is like peeling an onion. You have to peel away each layer to reveal another.

The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.

When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.

I'm very down-to-earth and accessible, I think.
