Considering that I'm British and I talk the way I do, I love it when a director takes a chance on me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A well known director wouldn't take the chance on casting me for an American role after he discovered that I was English. Some time later, he expressed his regret that he hadn't taken the chance with me.
I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.
I'm influenced by a lot of filmmakers; I like English filmmakers because I feel a kin to them.
I'm an actress who likes a strong, communicative director.
I'm a good actor in that sense for directors because I always do what they say.
I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
I enjoy directing more when I don't have to direct myself. I like when I can just be the director.
It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.
I directed before I was even in television; I directed in the theatre for seven years, so that was my trade anyway. But in the UK, I've given up any hope of being considered a director.
