I was terribly shy when I was growing up, I really wasnt confident with other people and I think I was always afraid of up or not being this very cool, amazing person that I wanted to be. – Emily Mortimer
Im still shy – Im no good at my childrens parent-teacher conferences, and Im slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. Theres nothing that Im too scared to have a go at. – Emily Mortimer
51st State was one that I loved doing because the character was so out there, and in a way I was sad to leave the character behind. Im afraid I could never be that cool in real life! – Emily Mortimer
It is brilliant going to the theatre and being forced to sit and listen and think about life. It can be almost a near-religious experience. – Emily Mortimer
As an editor, I read Charlotte Rogans amazing debut novel, The Lifeboat, when it was still in manuscript. I read it in one night, and I really wanted my company to publish it, but we lost it to another house. Its such a wonderful combination of beautiful writing and suspenseful storytelling. – Karen Thompson Walker
