About riding: "Happily, when I'm working, I often seem to get jobs that
give me the opportunity to ride - in Vanity Fair, Hamlet and Far from
the Madding Crowd, for example. It is rather nice to do something I
like and get paid for it. I have a quarter of a race horse but I don't
have my own hack. Though we were never a horsey type of family, I
started riding when I was about 10 at a local stables. I used to do
show jumping and gymkhanas but, now, I am not allowed to jump because
of the insurance. I just ride for pleasure, though it is still my
ambition to do silks and get on a race horse."
