When Something Is A Vocation, You Don't

I'm Not Interested In Saying What People Should And Shouldn't Do. It Depends On How People Feel About Themselves. I Suppose Personally If You Do Anything Out Of Fear Or To Mask Who You Are, Then That's A Bit Scary. You've Got To Work With What You Got.

I Think Probably Winning These Things [an Oscar] Can Be A Bit Of A Curse Depending On Who You Are And How You Think. But I Haven't Been On A Journey To Get Anywhere In Particular, So That Hasn't Changed. And My Criteria For Choosing Projects Hasn't Changed.

The More You Do It, The More You Learn To Concentrate, As A Child Does, Incredibly Intensively And Then You Sort Of Have To Relax. I Remember The First Film I Did, The Lead Actor Would In Between Scenes Be Reading A Newspaper Or Sleeping And I'd Think, 'how Can You Do That?'

Maybe This Is My Morality Coming In Again But It Was Important To Me That The Actor [ In Notes On A Scandal] Was Above The Age Of Consent. Although Really, What's The Difference Between 15 And 16? It's The Law, Yeah, But He's Very Mature.

I Don't Tell The Truth, I Tell What Ought To Be The Truth.
