By and large, I think female directors are far more sensitive.

Every actor prepares a scene in their own way. For me, it's about understanding the scenario, the room I'm going to be working in, the obstacles in and around the frame, etc.

I don't see things from a worm's perspective but a bird's perspective. I smile at problems.

I am keen to do roles that are down-to-earth, appealing, and sensitive.

Indeed in the full flush of journalistic passion and conviction I once told an interviewer that of course I would never get married. And I most definitely would never have children.

Every job that you take, the term that you should always include is, 'How can I be involved in the strategic projects that are critical to the future of the company?' You ask that question. It's a great 'how' question.

And I mean, I'm established. So I'm not worried about having a hit at this point in my career.

I am hoping this is my year to have children. I understand that I am possibly more European in my views of marriage. I am not going to say I'm not going to get married, but it's not my priority.
