There's a thrill when you have a hard set, a rugged workout, and you feel it, and you take it, and you go beyond it.
I just adore being on set. I adore storytelling. I can be on a set 70 hours a week and on those weekends, I'll still want to watch movies.
Remember when the music Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire And as we sang the words, it would set our minds on fire, For we believed in things, and so we'd sing.
Anyone who calls you "little lady" has already excluded you from the set of people worth listening to.
Ive always been very comfortable in a set environment. All the collaborating going on, seeing how actors work - it all excites me.

And while the ice was melting to form a flood in which I threatened to drown I awoke one afternoon to find that my first northern winter had set.
It's such a pleasant experience [to work on Harry Potter], though very nerve-wracking to come on to someone else's set, essentially. They've been there for two years, so for me to sort of walk on and to be expected to jump into it, it's not always that easy.
