When you're an actor, you just hope you get a job to go to.

When you're in a rehearsal room, it's like getting into a car and going on a long journey with everyone's stuff in the back. If you keep stopping the car and going, 'Are you sure we want to go?' and think, 'This is really daunting,' you will get frightened, so you just have to keep ploughing through it.

I am a total sucker for an actor's autobiography/biography. I have probably read most of them.

The Forest of Arden, where I grew up, is where 'As You Like It' is set. It was idyllic.

When you have young children, it is hard to see live performances. Unless I am in it. I do manage to see my husband Rupert Goold's work, of course.

There are no Kleenex boxes on these loops, just so you know.
