Being Me Right Now Is Sort Of

English Actors Feel Vaguely Apologetic For Being There At All. American Actors Know That The Most Important Thing Is To Get One Take Out Of Fifty That Is Great, And They'll Go To Any Length To Get It. The English Are Used To Working Within Consistently Small, Low-budget Things And Think, I Mustn't Waste Their Time.

At The Time Of The Silver Jubilee, I Was A Grumpy Anti-monarchist. I Didn't Celebrate And Was Appalled By The Celebrations. In My Idiocy, I Missed Out! I Feel Completely Differently Now Compared With That Time.

Directors Always Used To Be Like The Police To Me - The Enemy, The People To Tell Me What To Do When I Didn't Want To Do It. But I've Lived With One For A While Now And I Guess I Can Put Myself More In Their Position. You Shouldn't Be Too Sympathetic To Them.

I've Always Found As An Actress That The Best Thing To Do In Film Or Tv Or Theater Is Just To Lose Yourself In It. Think Of The Story, The Character, The Worlds We're In, And Forget Everything Else.

I'm Not An Impersonator. I'm A Lousy Impersonator, Actually.
