Really I just want to get on with my job, which is to pretend to be lots of different people. Simple as that.

One of my favourite parts of acting is the clothes that you get to wear, because it's very important.

I want to keep everything balanced. That's why it's important not to have too much fanfare.

It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.

I've played all these extreme guys, but playing an everyman type has its own challenges.

I can totally understand why people say: 'I'm going to do this T.V. series so that I can buy a flat'. But you've got to see what's of value to you as an actor.

Audiences like to be challenged and to be actively involved and try to guess an outcome.
