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. Emily Mortimer brilliantexperienceforce Change image and share on social
I had friends at school, but I was never part of a gang and I dreamed of that sense of belonging to a group. You know, where people would call me 'Em' and shout across the bar, 'Em, what are you drinking?' after the show. Emily Mortimer barbelongcall share on social
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. Emily Mortimer alivebuycadbury Change image and share on social

I'm still shy - I'm no good at my children's parent-teacher conferences, and I'm slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. There's nothing that I'm too scared to have a go at. Emily Mortimer childconferencecourage share on social
I already feel a bit annoyed at myself for writing screenplays. It's a bit, I don't know, model-singer-dancer-actress that went to a posh school. There's something too weirdly predictable about it. Emily Mortimer actressannoybite Change image and share on social
