I've made my peace with being in the spotlight, definitely.

Every director is completely different.

You are being hit with tabloid-journalism bi-lines of what you are doing because you have suddenly become a star.

Young actors are serious about their work and don't take any time out from it. I'm very serious about my work; there are probably only two films I've done where I had a really good time.

It is hard sometimes to see how other actors are working when you are working with them.

I like working intensely, then going away and thinking about it, working out why it didn't work and then coming back to it. It makes the work richer, I think.

I think sometimes people haven't really quite worked out how to peg me, or exactly what it is that I do. In that way, I feel lucky that I can get to play different things because they haven't quite decided what I am.
