I've seen 'Pride and Prejudice' about 4,000 times. I'm not joking: I know every single line.

I hate having to pose for photos. It's just so embarrassing. Everyone is expecting you to know what to do because you're an actor, but I haven't a clue.

I think, generally, British people are more culturally cynical about the things that involve our own country. Especially the royals.

If they made 'Pride & Prejudice 2,' Lydia would become more of a tragic figure,

I think, whenever you're doing anything, you don't want anyone anywhere to watch it and think that what your character is doing is ridiculous. You don't want anyone to watch it and go, 'Oh my God, that's just fortuitous.'

With the royal family, you don't want to see them as people because it takes the sheen off. They're distant; you can idealize them. But there's room to have compassion for people and see them as human beings. Just because they're royalty, it doesn't mean they don't love or feel loss or feel pain.
