I don't feel that fear is a good incentive on a film set.

I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.

I would find myself getting deeply distressed if I lived in hindsight all the time.

When you are an actor every day kind of morphs into one as there is no set structure to my job.

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

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.
