There's always a concern as an actor that you'll be boring unless your character is swinging from a chandelier.

My vanity is I'm terribly romantic! But being married is lovely.

I was quite a shy child. I would get terribly nervous and throw up before my birthday party. And then I would be fine. I feel the same now. I get nervous, then it's fine.

People like to think that actors are terribly worried about ghosts of other actors in the parts they play. But you just have to get on with it.

It must be odd, being recognizable. I would hate to lose that anonymity.

You'd never play Hamlet if you started worrying about who's played it before you.

I just loved the whole idea of being an actor.
