Anyone who wants to achieve something, needs a lot of work.

I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.

Everyone is interesting. Everyone has something unexpected to offer and the job of acting is to pull it out of each other.

The work is the most fun; it seems illicit how much fun it is.

I need to go where people are serious about acting.

Interestingly, young people don't come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you.

Yeah, I did need a lot of breath [to play Margaret Thatcher]. I needed much more breath than I have, after all of my expensive drama school training. I couldn't keep up with her.
