I Kind Of Had An Idea That

I've Always Said I Prefer Theater, But There's Only Ever Been One Play That I Really Loved Doing, And That Was The Seagull.

From Wall Street To Drive Was Almost A Year, When I Didn't Do Anything 'cause There Was Just Nothing That Was Significantly Different From The Things I'd Done Before. There Was Just Nothing To Explore.

I Didn't Want To Do A Costume Drama. It's A Great Thing To Do, But I've Done Them, And I Didn't Want To Do The Same Thing Again. Of Course, Costume Dramas Can Be From All Different Eras, But At The Time, I Just Felt Very Sure That I Didn't Want To Be Boxed In As An English Actress. I Wanted To Be An Actress, Rather Than An English Actress.

The Toughest Part Of Acting Is Never A Single Thing. It's More Like A Whole Character. I Find Film Really Difficult - Trying To Make It Feel Like A Consistent Character When You're Filming Everything Out Of Order.

With Theatre Especially, You Don't Want To Do It Unless You Love It - There's No Way You Can Pull It Off, Making People Happy, Making Yourself Happy For 12 Weeks Or Whatever.
