Emily Mortimer

Breakfast is my favorite meal. I cook a big one for everyone - bacon and eggs. I own a lot of eggcups.

Some people come alive at night. I'm hopeless by 9 p.m. Coffee and Cadbury buy me an extra half hour. Often I can't get my clothes off I'm so far gone.

It is brilliant going to the theatre and being forced to sit and listen and think about life. It can be almost a near-religious experience.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

Color is a very critical thing. I've found that architects don't like colors. Engineers too. And so somebody has to stand in. Because this is the finish of it. It is the emotional part of a structure.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
