“I was offered big stupid movies for big stupid money
and said no because mostly I thought: I will come a cropper. I
had a strong sense of what my currency was going to be, which was: interesting,
intelligent, character-driven. I also had an instinct that it was a place for
swimming with the sharks, which we now know it was.”—British actress Emily
Watson (Breaking the Waves, Gosford Park), quoted in Horatia Harrod, “Breaking the Mould,” Financial Times, Apr. 13-14, 2019
