I got into this business because I like acting and I want to make movies. I would be happy living the rest of my life never famous.

If I had gone to drama school, I wouldn't be sitting here now because it would have blanded me out; it would have just turned me into another actor.

I came out of drama school thinking I'd do some theatre, maybe some television, and maybe, someday, a film.

Then a year would go by and I'd realize I love the acting too much and it is my identity and I don't know how to be anything but an actress. It's who and what I am, so I always come back.

I don't have real big aspirations to be a movie star. I would love to be on a long-running hit TV show. You end up playing a defining role.

Apart from earning an awful lot of money, why would you go to Hollywood?

Deep down, I think I would be utterly miserable in Hollywood.

I would have been very happy just working from job to job, paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.

I still don't consider myself as going Hollywood. I did a movie because the opportunity presented itself and it was fun. When everything stops being fun, I'll go onto something else.

I would tell anyone who wanted to be an actor not to bother with drama school.
