The security comes, as an actor, in knowing that youre not in control. If you try to control your career, or how people perceive you, youll make yourself unhappy, because life doesnt work like that. So much is luck. Its much better to let yourself off, to think, Theres nothing I can do. – Matthew Macfadyen
