“The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Act...” — Romola Garai Quote

The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.

I wouldn't want to direct - I think that's a very different job. You have to be a very specific type of person to do that.

If you are an actress in L.A., on your 40th birthday they should just hand you the keys to the lunatic asylum.

If you are a 19-year-old woman, there are very specific things that directors and the people in positions of power in the industry - who tend to be older men - are going to want you to be and do. They are not going to want some chatty, difficult, slightly spoilt girl.

I'd love to do movies and be on TV. But I think if I transitioned into TV/film completely, I would really miss singing and dancing. It would be ideal to be cast in a movie musical!

At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.

Everyone else in the 'iCarly' cast can operate on 5 hours of sleep, but not so for 'Old Man Nathan!'

I'm really looking forward to filming in Glasgow with a top-class cast and crew.

You parents of the wilful and the wayward! Don't give them up. Don't cast them off. They are not utterly lost. The Shepherd will find his sheep. They were His before they were yours - long before He entrusted them to your care; and you cannot begin to love them as He loves them.
