I had my appendix removed in my 20s. I was in the middle of a

play with Helen Mirren at the Royal Court Theatre, a fabulous career break. Then two weeks in I began suffering the most horrendous pain and had to pull out. Sadly, by the time I'd recovered, the show's run had ended.

We definitely have to support other female directors because there's not enough of us.
Gia Coppola

I don't have what German directors call 'a concept' - a solid, fixed sense of the pattern that you should impose on the given work. I always get the feeling that I am raking up the earth rather than laying down the concrete.
Simon McBurney

The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.
Andrew Scott

Half of my life, I've had people staring at me because they think I'm funny-looking and ugly. The other half of my life, I've had people staring at me because they think I'm fascinating. Everything neutralises. It's more of a statement on society and how weird it is.
FKA twigs

I'm actually a hippy in real life. I had three dreadlocks on the back of my head once. They were spawning.
Jack O'Connell

I admire people who are creative.
Luise Rainer

The best way of enjoying your money is to spend it on other people. I don't need much.
James Nesbitt

People keep putting limitations on themselves and creating this reality that soul music is dead. That's only in their reality. It's not true. To me, Adele is R&B. Bruno Mars is R&B. It's just good songwriting and songs. That is going to last.
Ester Dean

I don't think I'm vain... but I do like to be lit well.
Kim Cattrall

I think I became a writer because of my love of stories and an inability to stop asking, 'What if?'
