Most of my relationships were people in the business. Having said that, me and Tim don’t really talk that much about work. He comes into my bit of the house every so often to vent but we don’t really have very high, cultured conversations.
Fairytales have always got to have that scary quality, as long as you make them laugh.
I’m often criticised for what I wear. That’s my main label in the press now: disastrous dresser!
I drink a lot of Diet Coke and belch. I’ve been known to use the ”f” word.
I’m convinced that whatever state you’re in during your pregnancy has a huge influence on the baby’s personality – so I hope we haven’t produced a little serial killer!
What I loved about playing the corpse is that obviously somebody else got to do the physical part. It appeals to the part of me that likes playing character parts and getting the chance to get away from my own physicality.
I’m always attracted to lower budget, not because it’s lower budget, but because they tend to be better scripts.
I enjoy those small chats you have when people come up and talk to you about your work. It only involves a few seconds of effort to be nice to those people, and I am very grateful for the kind words that people have taken the trouble to express to me in person.
I’m suffering from stage fright. I don’t like making speeches. […] I’m the kind of introvert actor who likes putting on other people’s clothes and pretending to be somebody else, which is completely crazy choice of profession. So, I don’t enjoy public speaking and I have every sympathy for anyone who has to do it and doesn’t enjoy it.
There is no normality in life.
His mouth is a no-go area. It’s like kissing the Berlin Wall.
I hate this image of me as a prim Edwardian. I want to shock everyone.
