Ben Whishaw

I think being very thin has had a lot to do with how I've been cast.

My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.

Keats himself spoke about how Shakespeare was capable of erasing himself completely from the characters he had created. As an actor, that is what I'm trying to do.

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

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.
