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

It's not so much that I'd like to play a raunchy character, but I would like to play someone my own age. I'm always playing down, but I guess it's good because it means I've got a longer life in my acting career.
