Theres just a big group of actors in London. There are new ones coming in all the time, who are looking for work, and established actors who are interested in working and like to work. To be a working actor in England is a life.

I depend a lot on my own judgment, for better or worse.

Anybody who pitches a story or an idea for a film to an executive, whatever the latest hit is, is what you're comparing it to.

I think the part I enjoy most is reading the scripts and screening films because I'm a bookworm and a movie buff.

When complicated characters aren't well drawn, they're boring.

Sometimes, the actors are thrilled to have visitors because they're just waiting most of the day. It's the directors that are a little busy.

There's a new television generation coming in every five or 10 years, and the classic stories stand up to being redone.
