I wanted to be the conduit for somebody else's experiences, filtered through me, and passed on to other people. Which is the job description, really.

I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.

There's still a massive inequality between the genders. If you look at the trajectory of a male actor's career, there's no hesitation or hiatus. But women after the age of 35 to 40 are rarely placed in the centre of the story.

I'm hardly Hollywood material - they're interested in youth and perfection and I lay no claims to either. It's not a place that's particularly interested in talent.

I never have time to myself; it's the one thing about my life I would probably hope to change.

If I could have any artist's work on my sitting room wall it would probably be by Van Gogh or Picasso.

I wouldn't even begin to presume that the talent of an able actor is anything like the talents of a prodigious musician.

I sometimes think that theatre is a torture.

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a completely different job for a while. You've got one life and you do the same job for the whole of it, and you think - was that a good use of a life?
