"Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there ..." — Miranda Richardson

London keeps me grounded. We don't get praised every time we open our gobs there.

I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.

I like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific.

I'm not someone who can lie on a beach and do nothing. I am not sure what you are supposed to do, so I get bored. I prefer to have a purpose, such as going to Alaska to see orca whales.
