roles care outcomes
In my case, when you dive into a role, to do well and for you to do well in it, you have to put an enormous amount of faith in the director. But you also have to decide you're so interested in the material, this director, his work, and his process, that you don't care about the outcome.
book writing mean
A lot of films that have been adapted from books stop serving you because they become different. I mean, they are different entities in themselves, but artistically, what you're trying to achieve with a film is so very different to what you're trying to achieve with a book, and the way when you write a script is so very different on paper to how it seems on a screen.
real believe fighting
Politically, I thought [Margaret Thatcher] stank. I think she had a real fight on her hands to get where she got, but I don't believe that her conviction was for the greater good.
voice preparation schedules
I've never had my own accent in a film. It's something I schedule into my preparation. That's one of my favorite things, hearing all the voices.
girl thrown
I've always thrown like a girl.
art believe moments
I subscribe to no religion. But I believe that in the creation of art, there can be moments of God.
running baby morning
You're miscarrying a baby first thing in the morning. Who wants to hear it? God bless them. It's a very strange life. I love the company of actors, but the crazier it gets, the more I've come to realise how valuable my time is with my friends who work on the land or are builders or, you know, make music. Work in offices. Run shops.
playing romantic truth
When you're playing a romantic version of a real person, you're playing a version of the truth.
I'm not even sure that any of us are ever ready for anything. We can be ripe, or over-ready, but what is that moment when we're actually ready?
best
I think the most important thing when you're telling a story is to just tell the story as best as you possibly can.
critical easiest horribly
I think it's the easiest thing in the world to be horribly critical about yourself.
hard work
I think every work is hard in different ways.
dressed hard wants
I don't like getting dressed up. It's hard because as a woman, as an actor, the whole world wants you to enjoy dressing up.
awful ferocious graham time
I am a Graham Greene fan - I'm just a ferocious reader. I read an awful lot when I get the time.
