Directors Always Used To Be Like The Police To Me - The Enemy, The People To Tell Me What To Do When I Didn't Want To Do It. But I've Lived With One For A While Now And I Guess I Can Put Myself More In Their Position. You Shouldn't Be Too Sympathetic To Them.

It's Very Easy To Just Shout: 'off With Their Heads!' Maybe In Doing That You Might Lose Something Very Valuable. I Would Like To See The Monarchy Continue, But In A More Democratic Fashion.

I Still Suffer Terribly From Stage Fright. I Get Sick With Fear. Not Every Night, But At The Beginning And On Occasion - Not Necessarily When I'm Expecting It. You Just Have To Cope With It - Take It On The Chin And Work Through It, Trying To Use The Adrenalin To Perform.

Any Role That's Proactive Is A Great Role, And Action Roles Are By Their Very Nature Proactive. You Get To Do Stuff. I Hate Sitting In A Corner - I'd Much Prefer An Action Role In A Popcorn Movie Rather Than Pining In A Corner Not Doing Anything.

I Am British. I Love Britain For All Its Faults And All Its Virtues. My Husband Is American And I Am Largely Based In Los Angeles, But Whenever Someone Asks Me Where Home Is, I Automatically Say 'london.'
