I think if I had come out of drama school and been an instant Hollywood superstar, I would be taking long, leisurely holidays.

I'd have described myself as a Tolkien reader before this, but now I'd describe myself as a Tolkien geek.

I can't bear shopping. I can choose clothes for my characters, but not for myself. I've got no dress sense. Or I've lost it.

I never like to go out of character when filming starts. I fear that if I do, I might not be able to pick it up again.

Do people really think that about my nose? I spent my whole life hating it, so its amusing that people like it!

I have a bit of pride, which is always my downfall.

Being Open to the Guidance of your Own True Nature will Free Others to Do the Same

Shakespeare's taught me that there are more words in the English language than I have got in my head.
