The strange thing is that since I've been offered lots of films I think that maybe they think that I've sold out to Hollywood. Which is not the case if anybody's listening.

I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.

When I left drama school, there were dozens of rep theatres you could apply to where you got a good training.

I've done a lot of costume drama and theatre - the National Theatre and In fact, most of my work at the theatre, at the National Theatre anyway, was period.

Before every performance, I think I am about to keel over.
