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

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

It sounds maybe a little old fashioned, but the parts I want to play and I do play, you don't want to inject too much of your own personality. What you sacrifice then is a slight mystery.

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

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.

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

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