I find that women want to tell me about their birthing experiences. In the most excruciating detail. It's not put me off having children, but I do feel like I know too much.

I did an A Level in Theatre Studies and had a really inspirational teacher, and then I just went on to university.

If feathers don't ruffle, nothing flies.

My first acting experience was a non-speaking role as a robot. My costume was a cardboard box covered in tinfoil, but I was so shy I refused to go on stage.

After filming, I cant wait to shake off all that 50s primness. Ill go out to a gig and dance ridiculously. I love to lose myself in music. Just letting go - its dead important.

For any role, I pretty much always go to the script, first and foremost.

I have a lot of Breton striped top and silk shirts that always feel good. I also like things with a masculine edge and dislike anything too girly.

I have a really adaptable face, but when I am just being me, people always think I am younger than I am.

Im certainly not squeamish at all. The countryside makes you very aware of birth and death.

My fondest memories are of watching lambs being delivered.

On stage, I find anger at the unfairness of the world easily.

I'm a very emotional person, and I love feeling things, so I tend to approach things kind of openly.

The hardest distance is always from the sofa to the front door

Animals are, like us, endangered species on an endangered planet, and we are the ones who are endangering them, it, and ourselves. They are innocent sufferers in a hell of our making.

A human being is a being who is constantly 'under construction,' but also, in a parallel fashion, always in a state of constant destruction.

Doing nothing is very tough to do because you never know when you're finished. The upside is that from the moment you wake up in the morning, you're on the job.

I'm a big believer that good policy is good politics. And so, when it comes to making decisions on policy issues, what I endeavor to do is simply speak the truth.

If we look into ourselves we discover propensities which declare that our intellects have arisen from a lower form; could our minds be made visible we should find them tailed.
