I like to think of myself as versatile, and I certainly have the most varied career, so I'm very, very lucky in that.

You're always a bit blind. If you look at stuff a few years later, you get a more objective look at it.

You're always supposed to have sympathy for the person you're playing. You should be the one person who does.

I prefer to be flippant about acting, just in case I'm rubbish.

I'm not Welsh and I didn't know that much about Dylan Thomas , and I saw that he's a huge icon of Welsh-ness.

My sister and I both benefited hugely from the great security that our parents had given us, and then we went off and squandered it all rushing around in showbiz.

Every now and then, I feel terribly uncomfortable with what I'm working on, and then I think maybe I am an artist. I'm not very articulate about it, but I do know that you have to follow your gut.
