The beautiful thing about it is that no two directors or actors work the same way. You also learn not to be afraid of discussion and conflict.

I never imagined it wouldn't work out for me. I had that absolute certainty in myself that has seen me through, I think, and my parents were absolutely behind me all the way.

Above all things I believe in love.

My heart aches completely, every hour, every day, and only when I'm with you does the pain go away.

Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you.

I want to wear skinny jeans when I'm in my 70s. Why not? Who cares?

I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting.

...as an actor there's nothing better than a great moody moment to play with nothing to say. It's so much easier to do because you can really get inside your head.

But I often think that so-called glamorous people are just very busy people.

Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world.

It's what the reader thinks that counts.
