Some actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation.

There's nothing like working with the best actors possible, and if you have a piece of material like, 'Long Way Down' or 'Love Punch,' which allows you to play, then it's just a joy to go to work.

The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.

I do think that good actors can do any part. It doesn't mean that they are the best ones to do it.

The hard thing is making sure you work with wonderful people and that you get something out of it so that you can get better as an actor.

You have to have wonderful actors for material, particularly difficult material that requires complicated performances.

It's rare that I come across actors who are willing to work as hard on the material as I am.

There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.

It is hard sometimes to see how other actors are working when you are working with them.

You can see some very great theatre actors who don't work at all well on screen. They're trying too hard at it.
