roles care outcomes
In my case, when you dive into a role, to do well and for you to do well in it, you have to put an enormous amount of faith in the director. But you also have to decide you're so interested in the material, this director, his work, and his process, that you don't care about the outcome.
book writing mean
A lot of films that have been adapted from books stop serving you because they become different. I mean, they are different entities in themselves, but artistically, what you're trying to achieve with a film is so very different to what you're trying to achieve with a book, and the way when you write a script is so very different on paper to how it seems on a screen.
voice preparation schedules
I've never had my own accent in a film. It's something I schedule into my preparation. That's one of my favorite things, hearing all the voices.
running baby morning
You're miscarrying a baby first thing in the morning. Who wants to hear it? God bless them. It's a very strange life. I love the company of actors, but the crazier it gets, the more I've come to realise how valuable my time is with my friends who work on the land or are builders or, you know, make music. Work in offices. Run shops.

When I talk about work or my take on life, all the joyfulness and excitement never seem to make it in.

I don't like getting dressed up. It's hard because as a woman, as an actor, the whole world wants you to enjoy dressing up.

I am a Graham Greene fan - I'm just a ferocious reader. I read an awful lot when I get the time.
almost blank canvas face fair fine incredibly quite
My face is almost like a canvas - a blank canvas in the sense that the hair on my face is very, very fine and my skin is incredibly fair and my hair is quite dark, and that's very unusual.
relationship
I'm interested in having a relationship with the world that's not my own.
art flatter frivolous great
I think impersonation is a great art. It's something that I enjoy doing, in a frivolous and lighthearted way. But I don't flatter myself to think I'm an impersonator.
close house idyllic
There's something really simple and idyllic about living in a house very close to the water.
women
I think, really, what I'm interested in is whole women, real people.
distrust fear feeling might motivated quickly
Fear is the enemy. I distrust it. Any feeling or decision I make that might be motivated by fear I quickly reassess.
