What Interests Sam Mendes Are Characters And Relationships, And He Was A Genius At Giving You The Freedom To Create The Type Of Character You Want, And Also To Explore And Have Fun With Your Fellow Actors.

I Just Feel Incredibly Lucky. I Went To Drama School And About 28 Of Us Graduated.

To Have The Kind Of Success I Have Had Is Really Amazing, And I Am Incredibly Grateful.
