I've moved into directing as well as acting, and it has taught me never to take casting personally.

The reason I wanted to start directing is that as an actor I felt I came into a job late. There's a whole team of people who have been working on it for months before you start. You have this really intense period of filming and then you leave it, knowing that the director will work on it for another few months.

I always have to go out to work even if it's just a desk somewhere or an office or the British Library.
