I believe that if you can discover something of the truth of a person, then you will start to understand, and to understand is to move towards, if not like, then at least an empathy of some kind.

I like Scottish people because they feel very true. They're always level and straight. They get a reputation for being hardened because of it, but I find them to be scrupulously honest people.

I don't have a publicist. I don't go to events or self-promote, or endorse things, or whatever it is people are meant to do in that world.

I think you can decide how much of yourself you're willing to make public.

I had a lot of anger against the way things 'should be done' - conforming to social norms, ticking boxes to gain acceptance. Frustration at the pointlessness and predictability of smalltalk. Oh and a lot of anger about tea, which the British seem to use to avoid actually saying anything.

I'll tell you, there's no goodies and baddies in the world, there's just people with intentions that sometimes clash.
Rupert Friend
Image
I don't really use the Internet or the newspapers to find out about people.

I've never got a part in the same way twice. I've never prepared the same way. I've never experienced the filming the process the same way.
