“If people are noticing the hard work I’m doing, then that’s a wonderful thing.”

I always did a lot of singing and dancing, so I am glad it worked out that way. I would like to study stage acting at some point, though.

The fact that I’ve been nominated for a BAFTA is insane.

I used to reenact ‘Titanic’ all the time.

In ‘Fighting With My Family,’ there’s a scene where I have to wrestle; I have to do the famous fight between Paige and AJ Lee.

There was one moment when I was in L.A., and he was teaching me a move. I just looked at him, thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’m being taught to wrestle by Dwayne Johnson. What the hell?’

Amazing, obviously. She’s been my idol since I re-enacted ‘Titanic’ and fell in love with Leo. And it’s a privilege to be called the next anything. But I suppose to be the next you is all you can do.

I grew up in a very loud family where you had to fight to get your voice heard, in a good way.

What we don’t realise when we watch a normal film is how many times someone has run in just before a shot quickly to wipe away that sweaty moustache.

Wearing a corset is extremely uncomfortable.

That, for me, actually is the most important thing about doing a period film is trying to make these people as lovable as they are back then.

As beautiful as cinema is, it’s a massive part of the problem of why we look at ourselves in the way we do.

I think there’s always some good reason to try and modernize most period things, because at the end of the day, they may have,

If you look at it, the corset is a very beautiful item, but when I put one on, I realized how little you could actually move.

During the Me Too breakthrough, I was hanging out with Emma Thompson and Emily Watson – two people I’ve looked up to my entire life. Talking to those women was so empowering.

The Falling’ was a big, flashy, bizarre experience. I kept on saying at the time it was a fluke because I did the audition, and I didn’t think anything would come of it.

I think it’s good to not edit your life too much, or you give people different standards.

If I never make another dollar, I am proud. I did what I wanted to do.

All I ever wanted to do with my life was own a little house. I did that way back with ‘Rocky,’ so now everything I do is just icing on the cake.

That’s why you have state secret laws. Citizens are not supposed to know what their government is doing to them.

Men who do things without being told draw the most wages.

Do I feel like I’m 65? No. I feel like I’m 15. That’s my problem.

You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.

A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.

I do close to 30 minutes in cardio at a very high rate. I raise the level of intensity.
