partly
Half of us are partly German! Half our language and culture, generally, in Anglo-Saxon terms, is German.
films job remain
There are still things technically about films that I think are a mystery to me and I want to remain a mystery. I don't particularly want to know what everyone's job is because I've got lines to learn.
bit
My mum was Labour-voting, but wanted us to know we were important. Basically, everyone's equal, but you, my children, are a bit better.
relationship
My relationship with my belief has never been easy.
job love people priority
My main priority in any job is when is the soonest I can get back to the three people I love most in the world.
favorite remained
I read 'Animal Farm' when I was 11, and it remained my favorite book, really.
art
I like uncertainty in roles, and I like uncertainty in art, really.
frames opinion second talk unsuitable
I have no opinion on 48 frames a second at all. I'd be completely unsuitable to talk about that.
grown
I hadn't grown up with 'The Hobbit;' I hadn't grown up with 'Lord of The Rings,' anything like that.
best people slight success victim
I'm very proud of 'The Office' - it was one of the best things I'll ever do. But you do become a slight victim of your own success in the sense that people think that's you, that's what you are, and that's what you'll play forever.
conference life love press quiet
I like the quiet life sometimes. I also love a bustling press conference sometimes as well. I love a 600 metre red carpet.
children
I want to inspire children to be obsessed over jewellery.
bands creature hard maybe
If I could get bands to come and play in my house, I'd like that. I've never been to a festival. I'm a creature of habit, mashed-potato comfort, I like rugs. Our sofa's squishy. Maybe too squishy - it's hard to get up sometimes.
saying truth whatever
If everyone's just saying what they feel and doing whatever they want, there's no drama in the world. And there's also no truth to it, 'cause that's just not the truth.
