Most Actors Will Tell You They Have

But This Is Where You Get All The Market Research And Things Get In Danger Of Becoming Formulaic, And Where You Depend On Brands And Getting Recognised Actors. It's The Thing That Precludes Risk Very Often, Otherwise Everyone Would Be Avant-garde All Over The Place.

My Parents And Grandparents Have Always Been Engaged In Teaching Or The Medical Profession Or The Priesthood, So I've Sort Of Grown Up With A Sense Of Complicity In The Lives Of Other People, So There's No Virtue In That; It's The Way One Is Raised.

No Matter How Much Technique You Draw On Or How Much Training You Have, Acting Is A Mystery.

I Find That At Almost Every Press Junket I Get That Comment, "this Character's Different From What You Generally Play..." And That's Ok! But I Think "generally Play" Stems Back To Mr Darcy. I'm Fine With It But I Tend To Find That If It's A Departure, Which In Other People's Words It Always Is, It's Always A Departure From That.

I Absolutely Don't Care About My Looks And I'm So Used To Them That I Wouldn't Change A Thing. I Would End Up Missing My Defects.
