I do get stopped on the street, although rarely. And they always have something lovely to say.

I don't think I am especially interested in celebrities, but I love talking about what is going on with people and why they do what they do.

I can be shy, but I’m not really. I try to be better at overcoming these things people have said.

I would have loved to have been a painter or a sculptor. I'm still fascinated by those things.

My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.

I love films. I love music. I love poetry and stories. All of that I feel… I sort of get very excited and fed by.

As an actor you have total rights to privacy and mystery, whatever your sexuality, whatever you do. I don't see why that has to be something you discuss openly because you do something in the public eye. I have no understanding of why we turn actors into celebrities.
