I think loads of people see acting, when they're kids, as these magical stories that just happen within the context of the film or the play or the cartoon or whatever they're seeing. They don't imagine that there are actually people that go and do that for a living.

There's always going to be a separate version of you that people will create, and you have no control over it.

I was the kid that grew up watching Bette Davis films.

I was a really pretentious teenager.

I've never been desperate to please my father.

I've always had horrible Valentine's Days.

I daydream about things I want to happen, but none of it is more complicated, most of the time, than just really hoping that the good parts and the well-written parts are the ones that turn up on my doorstep.
