plays school star
I wasn't a big star in the school plays or anything.
characters drawn good
I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people.
people
Some people like having eyes upon them and I don't.
films lots successful
I'm very successful and do lots of films but I've never actually done anything extraordinary.
maybe people putting spend twice
People want to imagine I spend every night going to premieres and putting on frocks and getting into limos, and yet I do that maybe twice a year, if that.
life work
You have your real life and then you have your work.
The thing is, you choose to be an actress, but not to be a celebrity.
people
Most people care what people think about them... we all do.
sit
In therapy you sit down; in analysis you lie down.
became comedy genre obsessive
I've done a lot of drama, and comedy was the one genre I was not being offered. So I became obsessive about getting one.
I think I'm very curious about other people. I like to sit and eavesdrop, you know.
life nice people polite time
In real life, I'm polite and nice all the time. It's fun to play people who aren't. It's escapism.
people somebody
When people think of performing they usually think of show-offs, but I think of it more that you disappear into somebody else.
aspects happening
I think there are two aspects to ageing: there's the physical side and what's happening inside.
