Emily Watson

When the time came to make a decision about what do in life, I found myself thinking that acting was the thing I loved to do, so I applied to drama school. And then, I didn't get in - twice.

I was a normal, rather dutiful child. I didn't even rebel as a teenager.

I was a pretentious child. I grew up without a television. I read a lot of books and I loved Shakespeare. Still do.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I love Hindi films.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!
