"After playing Saffy in 'Ab Fab', I needed to take time out from acting to see if I really wanted to ..." — Julia Sawalha

I think it's healthy to be insecure, to have nerves.

Actors think they're far more important than they are, and that can only lead to hurt. People with colossal self-importance have very far to fall.

I wouldn't miss the fame. I don't go out hunting for it. I try to avoid it and to slip into the background wherever I go.

I love finding things. I love digging around in the dirt. It's part of my Virgo. It's like acting, really. You're always searching around for something and finding little hidden treasures.
