business grounded knowing
The one thing that's going to get you through this business is having strong roots, being grounded and knowing what is true.

I'm not very well known. However, the more well known you get, the more people are going to have expectations of you. Although that's great, it also imposes certain pressures.

You do your bit and then you hope for the best and you think, oh I hope there's an audience at the end of the day.
amount certain last others parts point praying quicker until work
It's different for every project. Some parts are quicker than others to get and know; sometimes right up until the last moment you're just praying that something will click. But you can only do a certain amount of work and then at some point you've got to think: 'OK, I'm just going to have to leap now.'
although best course good great inspired translate vision
Of course you want to be good and you want to do the best you can, but I am inspired by great writing. If there's something about the script, that's what I go for, although I know that that doesn't always translate because sometimes it's about the vision of the director.
anxious exist hole interested people
You say something, things you would rather forget, and then they are out there. It makes me anxious and I don't know why people are interested in me anyway. If I had my way, I would rather exist in a little hole and not speak to anyone.
voice trying knees
I'll try and get through as much as my voice and nerves and knees will let me.

My knees buckled. It's the last thing I expected

I remember once giving my dad some drawings and writings and said, 'If you could just give these to the publisher, that would be great.' And I was about five!

I do worry about young people in the business who have experienced a lot of success and are punted around doing those manic publicity trails, when you don't really know who you are yet.

I'm quite an optimist, quite happy in life, quite smiley.
worry mind too-much
I love working and I love doing lots of things and a variety of things. It keeps your mind active and you don't end up worrying about just the one thing. When I chew things over or analyze too much, that is when I can trip myself up.
character emotional hope kick knowing logical magic quite sort time wish work works worry
What works for me is knowing the character in an emotional sense. I wish I was more logical but it doesn't work for me like that. I need quite a lot of time; it's why I always worry when I'm doing more than one thing at a time. I hope that some sort of magic will kick in.
