art raises-questions pieces
A good piece of art raises questions.
running stupid taken
I used to have the most visceral response to having my photo taken. I felt like instantly bursting into tears and running out of the room. I hated all the attention, which is such a stupid thing for an actor to say.
horse directors looks
I would say that maybe directors who act as well are easier with actors. I'm not saying that all directors have this, but sometimes you'll come across a director who sort of looks at an actor a bit like a kind of untrained horse that's been let out of the stable, like they might buck him.
home america tourists
If pressed, I would say I feel British. It's where I grew up and where I choose to live, the culture that I love, but I feel perfectly at home in America, I don't feel like a tourist or anything.
dream thinking forever
I love film acting - I'm not snobby about it. I don't think that theater acting's a more noble profession. I think they're both very important. I love both. And in my dream world, I'd get to do both forever.
men iron actors
One of the great things about the 'Iron Man' franchise is that they employ fascinating actors who don't necessarily do action movies. Before 'Iron Man' you didn't associate Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow with those kinds of films. There's an emphasis on repartee and wit.
thinking acting actors
I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.
kids film grew
I was the kid that grew up watching Bette Davis films.
character long-walks sketching
Sometimes you can incubate a character and that can take me a month just sitting on it imagining it, doing everything from sketching it to taking long walks, but sometimes you can see the character immediately. A lot of it is instinctive.
drama periods avoiding
I'm not consciously avoiding doing a lot of period drama, but I don't really seek it out either.
people playlists nerdy
I'm very nerdy about my music, and I like interrogating people about what they put on playlists.
father desperate please
I've never been desperate to please my father.
kids thinking play
I think loads of people see acting, when they're kids, as these magical stories that just happen within the context of the film or the play or the cartoon or whatever they're seeing. They don't imagine that there are actually people that go and do that for a living.
people awful repressed
I've played an awful lot of repressed people.
