brushing children funny playing pot room toothbrush
The funny thing about children is that, whichever room we're in, that's where they'll be. If I'm in the bath, they'll want to be in there too, playing with the toothbrush pot or brushing my hair.

bit dull fine maggie michael quite sad smith stick
When you think about such fine actors as Maggie Smith or Michael Gambon, they do all mediums. I think it would be quite sad and a bit dull just to have to stick to one. I like all of them.

I went on two holidays as a child. It wasn't what people did where I grew up.
I was never one of those teenagers who sang into their hairbrush.

I love fashion; I adore it. I love the madness of it.

I hope to be still acting when I'm 70 on TV, film and theatre.

I have quite a lot of anxiety dreams.

I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.
love playing
I do love playing aristocrats, probably because it's so against type. So much more interesting than playing a version of yourself.

The Turkish people are the friendliest I've ever met.
