I only went along to youth theatre with a friend when I was young to try to make myself a bit more sociable. But the whole thing was quite sore; it really hurt me trying to get into drama school. It was a world I knew nothing about – it was very middle class; all that usual stuff. But I was young, determined, and I just went for it. Anne-Marie Duff Read Quote
In theatre, there’s the director, the writer, and below them the actor. In film, it’s the actors who are most important. That goes against the grain for me. Anne-Marie Duff Read Quote
I am very lucky. I have known wonderful romantic love in my life but to actually see this little creature and find him to be the most beautiful creature in the world. I know all mothers and fathers feel that way. Anne-Marie Duff Read Quote
