We'd all like to believe that perhaps people could stop killing each other. ↗

Actors use who they are to be someone else, but I would hate to ever think I'm playing myself. It's imagining being someone else that is the key motivating thing for me. So when people want to know about me, it makes me a bit unnerved. ↗

Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you're not playing yourself. ↗

Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film. ↗

I had a daddy, didn't I? He wasn't perfect and he certainly wasn't the one I'd dreamed he would have been, but I had one all the same. And I'd love him as much as I'd hated him, hadn't I? All that distance, all that time wasted, but the fact that he'd inspired such passion in me meant something in itself. I can honestly say now that I think that's special. Screwed up and turned inside out, we were special him and me, and I am so thankful that I can say that I had a daddy and that he mattered. All his faults and failures mean nothing to me now. ↗

I don't feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs, unless they're extremely well informed. ↗

I don't plan a career. That doesn't work for me. I just have to go with my gut. ↗

I have a lot of stuff I want to talk about and offer up. It would be odd not to have ideas about something. ↗

Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. It's about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity. ↗
