I love theatre, and you learn too much as an actor and enjoy too much of it not to want to go back a lot.

There are other people who don't mind shouting from the pulpit and being judged for it, and they do a hell of a lot of good - real, on-the-ground, life-changing good. So I think it can sometimes be a balancing act.

Not that i had a big arse but even that was toned.

Maybe it's because I was an only child, but I've always wanted kids.

I want to do it all. I want to climb mountains, go through jungles, fight wars in space, get the girl, shoot the bad-guy full of lead, have all the zippy one liners, bulge muscles out of a singlet, drip sweat and blood on screen, all of that.

Someone will always hate what I say. There’s always going to be somebody spitting blood about my wooden-faced, toffee-named, crappy acting.

Mystique is rare now, isn't it? There aren't that many enigmas in this modern world.
