There were no spells at my school, just a smack in the mouth.

I promise myself that I would go and do a play every year.

I'm very flower-like. I love classical music. I go to ballet and I cry. There's nothing so beautiful.

For an actor to remain a child is rather important. It's a childlike, dreamy thing, acting, if you think about it. It's the sort of thing children fantasise about, playing cowboys and Indians in the street. I think that acting is just a highly refined development of that.

Like a heartbeat. Something inside me. Some dream. I think it's being a dreamer as a child. Dreamy kids become actors, don't they?

I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I've taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money.
