alongside group guys informed introduced run school stage techniques theater themselves weekends
I was about 14 when I started with a theater group; it was like a stage group on the weekends alongside school. And it was run by a group of guys who'd been to drama school themselves in London. So they introduced us to techniques that they'd learn about, and they kind of informed us about improvisation and screenwriting and all of that stuff.
along crushed decide innate met people single
I don't think I've ever met any single person who has been vulgar. But you know, you learn along the way that some people are going to be very generous, and other people... It's just not innate within them. Sometimes I think you just have to decide if you're going to stand up and get on with it or if you're going to be crushed and threatened.
art love
I love art, but not in a cliched, luvvie way.
If a role has been too one-dimensional, I have turned it down.
both dad love mom
I love my real mom and dad; I love them both equally.
deal good original
'Fright Night' I can just about deal with. Because the original is such a 1980s extravaganza. Which is a good thing. Obviously. But something like 'The Others' or anything psychological: I'm no good with that. I don't like it when there's space for me to use my imagination.
business chatting
The business is so international now; you'll be working on an American film, and you'll start chatting to someone, and it's like: 'Oh, you're English, too.'
challenged changed constantly dench maggie roles smith terms women
There is more for women in terms of character roles now. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith have constantly changed over the years and challenged themselves with different roles. That's impressive.
sincere
Seriously, I don't think there's any right way to do anything apart from if you're just being you; then it's a sincere situation.
huge
If I'm really honest, I'm not a huge fan of scary films.
type
I do think 'All Is by My Side' is the type of film I'm the most happiest.
good male
I'd say a good couple of my closest male friends are directors.
I still try to be a feminist in some tiny way.
generally great
I generally try and have great days, because I feel very lucky to be doing what I'm doing.
