You create this other person, so you only talk about her objectively.

The surprising piece of information that I learned was that 85% of the abortionists who were in prison in the 40s and 50s were mothers and grandmothers.

I left Rada, I worked in rep for six years, then I came to London and came to the National Theatre.

I mean there are a lot of actresses who want to do the classics and theater, but I've always liked new writing.

I was looking forward to see the film with my colleagues, like Phil Davis, wonderful actor, who plays my husband. And the next day, to hear all those journalists talking enthusiastically about the film was really great.

Agents and producers have to get you into a box to accommodate their limited imaginations.

All my heroes-Tim Spall, Lesley Manville-are just so brilliant. And I thought, well, I'm not in that league.

It is much easier for us in England. We have theater, TV, radio, and film, and we work in all of these mediums.

You can only do the job on the day because anything can happen.

I spoke to a gynecologist, a very elderly lady who'd spent all those weekends clearing up all the botched abortions-having to fix them. Then I read a lot of statements.

I go up for a job, someone else gets it, what can I do about that? It's not like running a race. I'm not against anyone. I think that's a much more American thing, that.

Put the character where she needs to be and look at it objectively, and look at the work like that. Not get in any way indulgent about it.

You know you can be very famous without being a great actress, and that's not good for me.

Also, the films we make in England are not based on leading lady looks.

I adore Bette Davis and Vivien Leigh, but more because they were good actresses. That's what makes me interested in them, that they didn't present themselves as idols; they were just doing their jobs.

Hopefully they don't recognize me on the street because I'm so tall and glamorous, obviously!

You just go in every day and it's like a theme park, in a way, of adventure because it is different every day.
