- Loving
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A certain amount of anger doesn't make us less empathetic, less humane, less loving. It just makes us real.
- More

It's an important point to make that people can't just be invalidated, eradicated, because they don't fit tidily into a box. And more and more, the modern world is all about conformity.
- Past

That kind of creaming off the pretty postcard image of the past, I think, is a road to nowhere.

- Nov 07, 2020
I have done some wonderful television, but you know, there's not as much exceptional material as there is in the theatre. So I do a lot of theatre, but really, as with most actors, I just love going from one to another. It's stimulating, it's diverting, it's a different way of life, and you know, I dearly like a good mix.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
You're not cast because you're like someone or because you're sympathetic to them. You're cast because you can act.

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I want to have the career that is my choice - what interests me, what doesn't. I feel more and more strongly about that.
- Darth
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I desperately wanted to play the part of Darth Vader's mother - I think she ended up being played by a Scandinavian actress - because my son was completely crazy about 'Star Wars.'
- Mistake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Recently I made the mistake of opening a bundle of reviews that someone had sent me of a production from years and years ago, and someone had written a really lovely review except that it made a remark about the way I spoke: 'A lot of people find her voice terribly irritating.' Do they? I had no idea.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother was always deeply attracted to anything medical, and I think she would have loved me to have been a doctor. My father was in the army for 21 years, came out just before I was born. There was no history of showbusiness on either side of the family, but they were completely supportive.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No matter how much we disagree with people, demonising them doesn't get us anywhere; it merely indicates a closed mind.
- Happy

- I Am

- Nov 07, 2020
I loved 'Homeland' - it's such an intriguing, intelligent piece of television, and I am fascinated by them making a hero and heroine that are so odd, so flawed and so complicated. It is a programme that really draws you in.
- New

- Nov 07, 2020
I've been listening to a new band called Wolf Alice, courtesy of my son. The vocalist, Ellie Rowsell, has a gorgeous voice.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My background is really being a writer's actor - that seems to be the way I work best, bringing out the best of writing. There's a whole range of acting skills, and some people can be astonishing with very poor material. That's not me; my skill is essentially unlocking the writing.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do feel almost violent when I'm watching things that I don't think are good enough. I get furious for the audience. I want to say to them, 'This play is not supposed to be like this. They've got it completely wrong. You should be electrified by this.'
