I can only go places because I know that I can go away from them, if that makes sense. I like the gypsy lifestyle that filming affords.

I don't have a publicist. I don't go to events or self-promote, or endorse things, or whatever it is people are meant to do in that world.

I'm only really interested in taking a part if it's nothing like me.

I grew up in the countryside in the middle of nowhere in England and got out as soon as I could!

I don't think the idea of working in Hollywood really exists anymore. I think you work in films, and where the film is shot is where it's shot. The studio system doesn't really exist.

I believe that if you can discover something of the truth of a person, then you will start to understand, and to understand is to move towards, if not like, then at least an empathy of some kind.

I think saying you're bad at something is rather wonderful because then it doesn't matter anymore.
