I still have a reputation as an eccentric. But the fact is that audiences probably mix up my roles with me as a person. ↗

There are roles I want that my agency might not want me to do because of the subject matter or whatever. Or there are roles that people won't bring to me because they don't think I'll do it. And that is a big strain because an actor wants to act. ↗

Acting is sort of an extension of childhood. You get to play all of these roles and have so much fun. Playing an athlete would be so cool. Or where you get to shoot guns, ride horses. I wouldn't turn down any of that. ↗

I'd rather do a lot of movies than a TV series and do a lot of different roles than be stuck in one TV thing. ↗

Today, I guess I give a lot more thought to the roles before I sign them. ↗

When my career first began, I didn't have children - so there's a whole lot of difference in the way I choose roles now. Not just films for my children, but how long I'm going to be away, and is Dad going to be home while I'm gone. That sort-of factor plays a part. ↗

There's something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you. ↗

Your old tutor did you a great disservice, Mr. Kynaston. He taught you how to speak, and swoon, and toss your head but he never taught you how to suffer like a woman, or love like a woman. He trapped a man in a woman's form and left you there to die! I always hated you as Desdemona. You never fought! You just died, beautifully. No woman would die like that, no matter how much she loved him. A woman would fight! ↗

If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that. ↗

Acting is about covering up traces of who you are and just being the character. I think it's easier to accept people in roles if you don't know a lot about them. ↗
