I have a visual mind, so when I read a book, I get an instant picture in my head and it's very clear.
Personally, I'm not interested in getting more money for what I do; I'm just interested in more money being put into the production.
I think if I had come out of drama school and been an instant Hollywood superstar, I would be taking long, leisurely holidays.
Small, slow growth is the best I expect from an investment. I'm a real saver frugal - like my parents.
Monet was like a conductor. He painted with quite a straight arm and used bold strokes.

I can't bear shopping. I can choose clothes for my characters, but not for myself. I've got no dress sense. Or I've lost it.
I kind of got lost down a road of TV and film, so it's great to come back to theatre.
I never like to go out of character when filming starts. I fear that if I do, I might not be able to pick it up again.
