But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person.

Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it.

The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.

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.

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

If one story becomes too hot, then you can't forget it. As an actor, you want to remain fluid.

I do sometimes play characters that are a bit ambiguous. You've got to be brave about that sort of stuff. I like the sense of people not feeling too secure, not immediately knowing what they have in front of them.
