I'm a very positive person. My grandmother taught me that happiness is both a skill and a decision, and you are responsible for the outcome.
From Helen McCrory
If you think you are beautiful in a scene, you will come across as beautiful. I don't think looks are important; I think what's important is if someone is sexy.
I feel as though my life is bathed in golden sunlight. And the really wonderful thing is that I know it.
I really love my food. My favourite thing is artichokes. I am not so much interested in desserts or chocolate, though. I also like to cook with my husband Damian.
The benefits of feminism for someone like my husband are fantastic. He can stay at home with the kids, he can take them to a park, he does the school run.
I can sleep anywhere! I can come off stage during the interval of a play, lie down for four minutes then wake up feeling better.
I was lucky to learn early in life that you need money for food and shelter, but there's no ambition in having money in the bank for the sake of it!
Theatre is liberating because it only works if it's truthful - that's what it requires. That's not true of film: the camera does lie.
You can be moved by a performance on set, but when you see it on screen, it does nothing. Yet there will be someone you simply didn't notice on set that on screen: bam!
I think I was brought up with an innate sense of responsibility because my dad was in the Foreign Office where you were in somebody else's country, and you were aware of your behaviour. And my mum worked for the NHS, so you were aware of your responsibility to your country.
