In the garden of our house, when I was three. My brothers and I had a jumping wall. I remember it as enormously high, but it was probably only about a foot and a half.
From Juliet Stevenson
I often don't feel like the person I look like.
I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.
I grew up all over the world. My father was in the army and was posted to a new place every two and a half years. I have no geographical roots.
Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.
I have quite a robust relationship with regret. You simply don't know what the alternative would have been.
I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'
Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a completely different job for a while. You've got one life and you do the same job for the whole of it, and you think - was that a good use of a life?
I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.
I wanted to be the conduit for somebody else's experiences, filtered through me, and passed on to other people. Which is the job description, really.
