Having a career is a bit like navigating an Atlantic crossing - you have to make sure everything is keeping and is balanced.

After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.

I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.

I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge.

I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.

Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.

I was happy, I wasnt beaten, and I lacked nothing. But it wasnt what people expect - it was very much sort of pinching and scraping. I dont know how my mother did it.
