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

I don't really use the Internet or the newspapers to find out about people.

I really admire artists who take the time to recharge their batteries and not continually call on it. I think you can spot tired and jaded artists quite quickly.

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

I had a lot of anger against the way things 'should be done' - conforming to social norms, ticking boxes to gain acceptance. Frustration at the pointlessness and predictability of smalltalk. Oh and a lot of anger about tea, which the British seem to use to avoid actually saying anything.

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.

It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.
