I've done a lot of period dramas, but I love modern productions, too.

It's important that period films aren't seen as just a lovely visual exercise.

I find more interesting roles for women in period pieces. I do personally like watching period films; I think you can really get lost in the fantasy of them.

I do enjoy film. The more I do it the more I learn.

As much as I love period movies and especially more swashbuckling movies, I think that sometimes they tend to be, umm... it's hard for the audience to relate to them.

I'm something of a history buff. It's deliberate that a lot of my films have been period pieces.

Film is something I've always loved since I was very young. In fact, I actually wanted to study to be a filmmaker when I was younger.

I grew up watching films. Film has been part of my life since I was a child.
