I don't think that care homes are all rotten old places that ought to be shut down. ↗

I have no control over a film. I don't know what will be left on the cutting floor. ↗

I just feel incredibly lucky to be employed when there are so many actors and actresses who are not employed. That's why, you know, I sometimes feel desperate, in case I'm not going to be cast again. ↗

I trained as a designer, so I'm always terribly keen about what I'm going to look like. ↗

I was in Yorkshire. We were a family of five and I used to be sent sometimes to get the rations for the week and I was easily able to carry them back. It was like one egg and a tiny bit of tea. ↗

I work out the other bits, too, but I need to know what I look like, very early on. And then it's like a template; I'll fill that person out. If I get that out of the way, then I'm all right. ↗

The more I do, the more frightened I get. But that is essential. Otherwise why would I go on doing it? ↗
