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.

Never, ever wear three-quarter length trousers. Even in the summer.

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

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

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

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