Human Beings Make Mistakes, So We All

I've Always Found As An Actress That The Best Thing To Do In Film Or Tv Or Theater Is Just To Lose Yourself In It. Think Of The Story, The Character, The Worlds We're In, And Forget Everything Else.

A War Film Can Be Propaganda And They're Very Valuable As Propaganda, As We Realized In Britain In The Second World War. Film As Propaganda Is A Very Valuable Tool. It Can Also Demonize, Which Is The Dangerous Side Of A War Film As Propaganda. But There Are War Films That Are Not Propaganda. It's Just Saying 'this Is What It's Like.' For 99 Percent Of Us We Don't Know What It's Like. We Have No Idea. So To Reveal That To The Audience Is Powerful.

I Woke Up One Day And Realized I Could Never Be An American.

I Think Of Myself As Mirren Rather Than Mironova, Absolutely. I Am A Brit, Really. I Mean When I Go To Russia And I Do Have, Maybe It's A Romantic Fantasy. You Know Us Actors, We're Very Good At Romantic Fantasies.

I Always Love Working With Young Actors, Because There's Always Something To Learn. It's Always Exciting To See The Next Generation And How They Approach Things And What's Great About Them And What's Not So Great About Them.
