I'm so fair that I didn't go in the sun as a child. When all my friends were on the beach, I was going to ballet. The teachers there didn't like you going in the sun, so I never did.

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.

Every director is completely different.

You can make the best show in the world, but if people don't actually turn it on and see it, they'll never know it's the best show.

It could be a stupid thing to say, but people should realize that it is easy to get concerned about yourself and to lose contact.

It's a career that's enticing because you go on stage, for example, and people clap. You get that affirmation, but you can't go into acting for that because it's really your own self-belief that's going to get you through.

I hate being pigeon-holed into anything. To me, the best thing is when the next job comes and is completely different to the one that I just had.
