I was brought up by a really proud, supportive family, so I have that sort of grounding.

I'm constantly trying to find something that's different from me, whereas some actors do the same thing, again and again. That's not for me.

It's funny because if you ever ask anyone in England to try and do a Beatles accent, no one knows what they really sound like. If you ask anyone in America, they would try and give it a go. English people just know their songs.

I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately.

Something like making the NIT would have been a great way to showcase the season we had.

I can't think of anything worse than trying to schmooze someone with the idea that you're an actor.

I get on fine with my mum and dad, but if they want to see the grandchildren, they come to me.
