Anna Chancellor

I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.

I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.

I was never, ever the ingenue. The young, innocent lead was just not me.

You have to have really wide reading habits and pay attention to the news and just everything that's going on in the world: you need to. If you get this right, then the writing is a piece of cake.

I cannot cook to save my life. I'm really frighteningly useless, when you get down to it.

Most of my work has no conventional narrative, so it's not essential to have a beginning and an end - your attention can flow in and out of the experience rather than having a set entry point.
