It's beneficial to play against your type; to be chameleon-like.

As actors, you play people who are not yourselves!

You have to have sympathy for and an empathy with a character in order to play them.

I've not sat with my agent going: 'Where is the next hopeless girl I can play?' They just come along.

There's something about wearing clothes that your great-grandmother might have thought were nice that makes you look older.

I'd love to work in the States; I'd love to work anywhere where you get a good script and a good part to play. But I do love British film as well.
