With acting, there is a level of anonymity which is conducive to your profession. There are examples of very public people who are on the cover of every celebrity magazine but can't open a film.

As I get older I'm more and more comfortable being alone.

Everyone I've worked with on any film will say I'm the hardest worker.

I'm English, definitely. I don't feel like I'm American in any way.

I'm very lucky that I get to make a living out of acting, which is what I love, and the level of attention I receive has sometimes been my own fault and sometimes not been.

I've always kind of done exactly what my instincts said.

I'm stupidly proud of myself.
