I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.

People like to hear me say, 'You love me, Chandler Bing. You just don't know you love me.'

I don't want to write lines where characters tell me exactly how they feel; I want to see people talk about anything but their feelings, like they do in real life.

I would never put my close friends or a real relationship on a show.

I don't know... I don't want people to know everything about me.

It's of course understandable that people want to know about actors in their favourite series.

In my work, I want to convince people that I'm that character. If they know everything about Lesley Manville - private life, all of that stuff - it doesn't help. So the kind of anonymity I enjoy is key.

I can't hide my feelings.
