I've no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.
From Kelly Reilly
You put yourself on tape as an actor a lot - and you send them off, they go out into the ether, and you have no idea what's going to come back, or when.
Auditioning is a horrible experience because you know you are being absolutely scrutinized and judged. There are days where you can do it and days where it's just not happening, and I feel like that's how it is with all artists; you have some days it kind of works.
My personal life, my normal life, is so important to me. To be able to go back to my personal life and leave characters behind is important; I don't keep them with me.
At my school, Shakespeare wasn't on the syllabus - at least not for me.
I'm not temperamentally into high comedy. I'm not a Noel Coward kind of girl.
Theatre is where my heart is. It's where I can do my best work. And even if I do films and TV, that's what I want to come back to.
When I was younger, I used to write to directors when I was unsure I could play a role. I'd say: 'You've made a terrible mistake.'
It's lovely to work with a group of actors who make you laugh and smile.
We live in a celebrity-obsessed society.
