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.

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

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.

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

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

I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free - on the fringe - as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me - actors should be paid well.
