People say to me that I can't be nervous because I've had such a wealth of experience, but I tell them that I have never done this particular part before.
From Brenda Blethyn
Before every performance, I think I am about to keel over.
I knew Secrets and Lies was a great film, but I didn't expect it to get the attention it did because none of his other films had and I thought they were just as good.
I like the enthusiasm but not the insincerity of Los Angeles.
Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think that's because we were trained - until now - in theatre.
When I left drama school, there were dozens of rep theatres you could apply to where you got a good training.
I've never done a big studio film, I've only ever done little ones.
I love silence.
In fact at home I sometimes like to be quiet and hear the sounds of the world outside.
I always think 12 times before saying anything.
