The trouble with talking about acting is that it's like sex. It's enormously fun to do but just dreadfully embarrassing when you have to talk about it.

Trying to be a good actor has to be involved with placing yourself imaginatively in different people's circumstances.

We all have different thresholds for sentimentality. For me, it's a hard won happy ending.

The only thing I think I can be accused of about paparazzi is being really naive. I didn't think about it coming along with the job and I never, during my three years at drama school, fantasized about one bit of it.
