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

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

The goal is always just trying to stretch yourself as an actor.

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

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.
