For Me Really Good Acting Is About

I Never Aspired To Be Anything. What I've Done Is Beyond My Wildest.

No Matter Who The Character Is And How Big Their Role, That Each Person In The Story Is A Human Being And Deserves Respect. Even If They're In The Story For Ten Seconds, I Didn't Want You To Just See Them As This Entity Passing Through That's Serving All Of The Other People.

I'm English And I'm Used To Coming From A World Of Period Dramas, Where There's A Very Polite Restraint To Everything. Everybody's Sort Of Sitting In Drawing Rooms.

Movies Are Certainly A Director's Medium, So Getting The Opportunity To Work With Really Good Directors Is Everything To Me.

One Of The Views Of The [actor's] Job Is That Whatever Age You Are, There's A Role That's About Who You Are And Where You Are. There Are Parts For That Age That You Can Bring Things To.
