For me, one of my favorites, director-wise, is Tim Burton. I also really admire the work of actors like Sean Penn. He is probably my favorite actor because of his dedication and commitment to roles, and the ability to morph and change himself when he needs to. It’s about dedication and commitment and a passion. – Colin Morgan

It’s all about the sensuality of movement, every movement you make. That’s why I love doing action movies. It’s all about movement, dance – even if you’re hitting someone in the face.

I’d studied English literature at university, but I was also far more enamored with Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and James Joyce. That was my passion. – Felicity Jones
