'Serious acting' is the kind of acting that I don't ever respond to.

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

I think in my job, it's quite difficult to find work on television... you don't necessarily want to get a profile for something that you don't fully believe in.

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.

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

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.
