What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.

I'm a lot less serious than people think.

If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.

There's, like, marks next to an actor's name or something, and boy does that go up and down! Somewhere in there, which always causes my mate Miss Ruby Wax great hilarity, I was offered a biopic of Frank Sinatra. Even I knew that was a bad idea! They'll throw anything at you at certain times. So, you know, to thine own self be true.

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
