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

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

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

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.

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

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

It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.
