Realizing that my children are the center of the universe and not me is probably one of the greatest ways to acclimatize.

I'm like a magpie. I use lots of different things to build a character.

I don't really have any regrets because if I choose not to do something there is usually a very good reason. Once I've made the decision I don't view it as a missed opportunity, just a different path.

When I was at drama school I wanted to do classical theatre. It just so happened that I did a film when I came out and I moved that way.

I think my wife has always been aware, whatever country we have been in, of my dramatic leading man status; a little too dramatic she would probably say.

I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some saint, because I'm not.
