“I’m not particularly intellectual, the way I approach things. I’m a completely physically actor; I think physically and I let my body lead me to the emotions.”

More quotes by Sophie Okonedo

The repetition of the theatre means you've got the time to get deeply inside the person you're playing.

Without hammering you over the head with it, the movie gets you to ask questions. That's what good movies do.

Being a character actor, I can go on until I'm 70 or 80; I'm not bound to the way I look.

When I do things that aren't very good, I'm worse as an actor. I don't know what I pick up - but it's something not very nice.

I don't like going for more than a year without doing theatre. I don't mind falling flat on my face so long as I feel I'm open to the possibility of something extraordinary happening.
