I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!

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

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.

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.

I'm not at all fed up with British films, but I am fed up with playing upper-class people.

We all come in different shapes and sizes, and that's fine by me.

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.
