Films are just consumables.

I'm a bit of a Doubting Thomas - always worrying about things.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

I really like acting in French. It's actually quite different for me, from acting in English. It's fun acting in a foreign language. You're liberated or freed from preconceptions.

In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'

Exoticism can give you an edge: it makes people assume you're cleverer than you are and gives you the upper hand.

As actors, we're always asked to portray and react to these extreme circumstances, otherwise it's not interesting. They are agonizing things to think about.
