Laura Fraser

Laura: Separating myself from any role has always been hard for me. I get far too involved so easily, or at least I used to - these days I'm finding it easier to get back to reality at the end of the day. No doubt the cocaine didn't help.

Laura: (On Hollywood) It's quite a sick place. I find you have to leave after a while. It's so empty, like a desert or a ghost town. Everyone drives everywhere. It has no heart.

Laura: (On her past drug-use) I was ruining my life because that's what drugs do to people. It was an immensely destructive period for me and understandably had a bad effect on my career - someone who isn't nice and isn't reliable is not good to have on set or anywhere else, to be honest. I was young and silly and I let the pressures of the world I live in get to me in a way that they shouldn't ever have.
