Plenty of friendships are sustainable through dinners and lunches, but will not stand a week away. So be careful with whom you go on holiday.

Nothing is harder to dramatize than happiness.

You see, in America, it's quite standard for an actor to sign, at the beginning of a series, for five or seven years. The maximum any British agent will allow you to have over an actor is three years.

If we don't respect the past, we'll find it harder to build a future.

A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience's sympathy. They have a need to twinkle.

In the end, drama is successful if you care about the people.

I think I have a very detailed sense of observation. I am interested in the details of people's lives and what information these details give.
