I want to keep working. I want to step away from young adult fiction. I want to do theater periodically - Farragut North reminded me how great it is. I started out in theater. I trained in theater and then I kind of fell into film and TV. I want to work with interesting artists, talented actors, talented directors, and talented scripts. Not necessarily leading roles.

I guess if everything went tits up, having no work whatsoever, obviously you have to do something else. At the moment I don't see myself quitting, but I'm open minded about it.

It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.

Coats are my favorite thing, and it's always cold in England. I'm comfortable spending a bit of money if you know you're going to be wearing it 10 years later.

I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot. But I don't want to kill people. I'd hate to.

For me, comfort is paramount.

My name has opened doors and slammed doors shut.
