I like to think I'm a listener, and I'm fascinated by observing people - I suppose you just lock that in.

I think some people think that being on television makes you a sitting duck, but you have the right to remain private.

I always start from scratch with a character - they're never based on anyone else. You get ideas of what people look like, and I'm a great people watcher. You can draw inspiration from people.

I think you know what you're up against when you take on a piece that you know is going to involve dragging up a lot emotions - you can end up being deeply immersed in gloom.

If I want to run around a field when I'm 70, I would like to have that option.

You can learn so much just by observing.
