Quotes

Miranda: It is hard sometimes to see how other actors are working when you are working with them. (edit)
Miranda: It could be a stupid thing to say, but people should realize that it is easy to get concerned about yourself and to lose contact. (edit)
Miranda: If there is a book that the script came from you have to read it, you have to see what you can get out of it: mood, back story and things that may not even be in the film. They kick off your imagination and broaden the character, I think. (edit)
Miranda: You are being hit with tabloid-journalism bi-lines of what you are doing because you have suddenly become a star. (edit)
Miranda: Young actors are serious about their work and don't take any time out from it. I'm very serious about my work; there are probably only two films I've done where I had a really good time. (edit)
