(what does this versatile actress look like as Narcissa?) If I told you that they'd shoot you as you walked away from this building. No I'm not joking. ... It's like working for MI5. When you film, a man comes in with a wand. You do the scene, and as soon as it's finished, it's locked in a cupboard. At first you think: 'Why?' And then you see the eyes of the kids being shown round the set and you think: 'Oh that's why.' Because if it's not nailed down, it's going to disappear.
