Acting Takes A Degree Of Mutual Trust

I Was So Lucky Because What I Did In 'thor' Was I Built The Character From The Ground Up - The Foundations Of His Spirit, Really. He Was Someone Who Was Born With An Expectation That He Would One Day Be A King, Born With An Entitlement.

I Personally Feel That People Feel Very Reassured By Nature Because It Makes Us Feel Small And That's A Good Thing For Human Beings And For Society.

I Think There's A Part Of All Of Us That Wonders How We Would Survive On An Island Untouched By Man. Even Better, An Island Untouched By Man And Inhabited By King Kong.

What Le Carré Is So Good At Is Unpicking Something Very Specific About Englishness. That Is Almost Part Of Why I Think He Wrote The Novel. You Can Feel Le Carré's Anger That Someone Who Has Had The Benefits Of An English Education And An English Upbringing Is Using That Privilege To Basically Do The Worst Things Imaginable. There Is An Anger In The Book About That.

I Love The Acting Community At Cambridge. It's Really Quite Committed And Serious, Since The Days Of Derek Jacobi And Ian Mckellen Right Through To Emma Thompson And Hugh Laurie.
