I'd rather do my own performance than copy someone else's.

My dad bought me a guitar when I was very young, and I never looked back.

I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor.

I'm endlessly putting myself on tapes for things over in America! I'm always sitting at home, learning lines, sending stuff to America.

I use music as therapy. Whenever I'm feeling angry or needing some 'me' time, which is quite regularly, I'll go and bang a piano or flesh out something on a guitar.

I've started collecting taxidermy: I've got a red squirrel, called Steve. I made sure he came with certificates so we know he wasn't just killed for stuffing.

Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I'm a man of simple pleasures, really.
