I would like to work with whoever would like to have me.

I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours, but he survived the whole war.

I think if actors don't think of themselves as funny in real life they think they can't do comedy.

I'm not really an animal person.

I am comfortable playing the fool, I think.

I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.
