I'm very wary of trust, you see.

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

When I speak English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that's very irritating. It's the whole class thing.

Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.

I try to make films that I find exciting. It makes me want to get out of bed at five in the morning, have my make-up done and play for the rest of the day.

I'm very good at forgetting people.

I mean, if you're being directed very precisely by somebody who has admiration and who's really smart, it's great. If you're being told what to do by a nincompoop - and luckily that hasn't happened very often - it can be very frustrating.
