It's very important to stretch, because while it's good to look pumped, a lot of the moves are split legs, and twisting fast. So you really, really have to stay supple.

It's the ones that deal with the inner fear, the unknown realms and the mysticisms that are scary. You had that in the Carpenter version, and you have that in this prequel. It's paying homage, very much, to that.

My father was a lorry driver, very rarely at home. The house was run by my mother, and because there were 10 or so kids, there was no time for individual attention. It was about survival. It was about where the next meal was coming from.

I think always as an actor. I go in knowing how I'm going to play it. That's about it.

You really have to act your pants off to stay alive. I thrive on that; I rise to the occasion of the circumstances.

As an actor, you really want to resonate with your audience. I played a character on Oz and people still approach me in the streets today.

The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.
