Onstage, there's no hiding; you either can or can't act. There's no second take.

For me personally, everything is on a kiss.

It's really important to draw the line on what we do as actors.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

You can see when an actor gets bored: Their eyes go dead. I promised myself I'd never let that happen. If it does, I'll go and live on a desert island for a year.

These women need to feel that we're all aware of what they may be going through, to give them the confidence to speak out.

It's so important to raise awareness of this problem that continues to affect 1 in 4 women at some point in their lifetime, regardless of career, wealth or background.

I have the most lovely, healthy bouncing baby, she was all very compact and the right size.

When I was younger I thought I'd meet the man of my dreams, get married and have a child, but it all went higgledy-piggledy. Never say never, though.

And the most important thing - apart from telling a good, believable story, and being a true character - is to be someone the audience will care about, even if you're playing a murderer or rapist.

When you're given something new, it's always exciting 'cause you're the first one to do it. You're not having to live up to any expectations, or be compared to anyone who's ever done it before.

Confidence is the attitude of success.

We don't communicate in full sentences anyway. We don't need all those words.

Honour, cherish and nourish yourself.

Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.

A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.

Morality without a sense of paradox is mean.

It may be coincidence that the decline of newspapers has corresponded with the rise of social media. Or maybe not.

You can take my life, but you'll never break me. So bring me your worst... And I will definitely give you mine.

The only true source of politeness is consideration.

I would like to see as many people patriotic to a land as I have seen patriotic to a flag.
