making-time ifs
I will make time to eat every day. I couldn't do as much as I do, actually, if I didn't eat.
want pay cheques
I want a regular pay cheque.
children kids careers
I waited a long time to have children because I had this career that was kind of like my kid, it required as much nurturing.
play guitar taught
I taught myself how to play guitar - pretty badly, but I knew enough about music to start to figure it out.
movie england actors
But I love filmmaking - I'm not ashamed of that. You're sort of vilified if you say that in England.
quiet quiet-life
I live a generally quiet life, as it were.
baby looks obsessed
Babies are endlessly fascinating to look at and I'm obsessed about their complete and utter lack of guile.
growing-up kids growing
Growing up, I thought I'd have at least five kids.
believe character play
I really believe in the characters I play.
believe names no-point
I don't really put my name to anything that I don't love and believe in, because there's no point.
men thinking fancy
I really fancy Harrison Ford. I've got to say I think he's really divine. He's, like, an older man, I guess, although he's not really that old, obviously. I don't want to offend him
film boring bizarre
I like the theater enormously, but I truly love films - the whole bizarre, boring process that it can be.
mother baby children
I can't pass a puppy, a kid or a baby without stopping. It's really annoying to every boyfriend I've ever head. My mother will roll her eyes and go, "God, really?!" But, I find children funny and great, and I love them.
machines weight quiet
In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part, but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater, it's a more concentrated and quiet experience
