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.

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

It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.

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

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

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.
