“I love all Daphne du Maurier's stuff. And just enjoying period dramas, really... wanting to do something drastically different from 'Nighty Night', the chance to write very different language.”

“I can't just lie in bed and be self-obsessed if there are two children running about who could easily fall down the stairs.”

“I'm sure all parents think their kids are funny, and I'm sure a lot of kids are, whether their parents are comics or not.”

“I'm glad I did South films because I feel they have moulded me. They are really loud and are in a different language, so it's not easy.”

“Before 'The Last Samurai,' I couldn't believe I could do that. I didn't think I would be able to explain myself and my feelings in English, in a different language. But I could.”

“I actually used to make these little plays. I would stand there, and I would act out where I was dying or something. I would make them sit there and watch all my plays. I would be talking in gibberish language, like I was talking in a different language, and my parents would be like, 'Oh that was great!' and I'd be like, 'Wait, it's not done!'”
