I wanted to be a set designer when I was young.

I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.
children taken thinking
We know about the issue of children being sold and adopted and taken away but what is so extraordinary is how these two people come through something like - how both of them do, in actual fact. I think that she's one of the most considerable people I've ever met, Philomena.

responsibility long irises
I played Iris Murdoch, who had not long died, and I felt the responsibility very heavy on my shoulders.
careers interesting supposed-to-be
Filming is completely - was totally new to me ... I had a movie career which wasn't supposed to be, so I couldn't be more thrilled. For those who work, parts seem to get more interesting.
