My feeling about work is it's much more about the experience of doing it than the end product. Sometimes things that are really great and make lots of money are miserable to make, and vice versa.

A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.

I like working on things that are very different and that involve different disguises.

When there's an adult person who's scaring you, you grow up pretty quickly.

I'm quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.

My mum always told me I was precious, while my dad always told me I was worthless. I think that's a good grounding for a balanced life.

Performing a one-man Macbeth feels like the greatest challenge.
