Michelle Fairley

When you're doing a job, you go out there and do it to the best of your ability and you don't think about awards and things like that.

There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.

I remember watching 'The Wire,' because I absolutely adored 'The Wire,' and there were so many secret layers within that drama, and it was just fantastic.

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

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I don't write constantly; it's two serials and a novel a year.
