Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was growing up, really. So when I decided to go to university instead of drama school, it was with the intention of becoming an actor afterwards.
  • I think becoming an actor because it`s a ridiculously insecure profession to go into. I feel very comfortable but very lucky. I think any time that you imagine that it`s plain sailing for hereon in, then you`re kidding yourself.
  • In my experience it`s not essential to get on with the person that you`re acting opposite
  • Most of the books I like involve people I could never play in a million years.
  • There`s no one actor in particular that I want to model my career after, except for the people who have been able to keep their career varied and who choose things that interest them. That opportunity is all I really want.
  • When I got back I found myself being very emotional about the time spent in Rwanda in a way that I hadn`t been able to or allowed myself to be when we were there.
  • You can still have chemistry on screen without getting on with the person. But it just makes your job a lot easier if you don`t have to gird your loins, if that`s not quite the right phrase, every time you`re going to do a scene with that person.
