They're Such Hierarchical Things, Film Sets, They're

My First Film, 'like Minds,' Was With Toni Colette, Who Was Extraordinary. I Mean It Was Basically A Mini-masterclass For Acting On Film At A Time When All You Could Probably See Were My Eyebrows Bouncing Up And Down On Screen.

As A Runner On A Film, You Are The Lowest Of The Low, And Yet You Have Incredible Access To Everyone. I Can Totally Imagine That For Actors In The Middle Of A Hollywood Bubble, All They Really Want Is A Sense Of Normality, And That Gopher Can Be A Tap For That.

Making 'birdsong,' On The One Hand You Have How Prestigious It Is And The Reputation Of The Book, Which Is Something That's An Extraordinary Piece Of Work. Sebastian Faulkes Is A Genius. So You Feel That Responsibility When You're Portraying That Character That He's Imagined And Millions Of Readers Have Pictured.

This Is The Great Luxury Of Not Working: The Moment You Read A Book That Has Nothing To Do With Work, You Know You're Really Relaxed. And I Have A Sh*t Attention Span. I Can't Concentrate For More Than Five Minutes.

Most Actors Hate Watching Their Own Films Because All You Can See Is The Glaring Mistakes, Your Own Tricks And Ticks.
