Kelly Reilly

At my school, Shakespeare wasn't on the syllabus - at least not for me.

My personal life, my normal life, is so important to me. To be able to go back to my personal life and leave characters behind is important; I don't keep them with me.

I'm not a show-off; I'm not an exhibitionist.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
