I just want to bring people in a little bit to the idea of sitting down on a Sunday three consecutive weeks and having that water cooler moment that really was a sort of a national sensation in the U.K., 'cause it's kind of fun.

The training gave me the building blocks to get through it. A production of that scale, in a theater that big, you are going to struggle to keep your voice at first-run perfectness. All that work I did - the pull-ups and pushups - helped keep my body fit. Hamlet, the show, is a cardiovascular workout of about three hours, never mind the mental, soul-crushing element of it.

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.

To get a horse to hit a mark without a rider, to get it to stand up, to get it to rear, to get it to pick up a bucket and bring it over is amazing. It's hard work and very rewarding but can be dangerous.

Do I like being thought of as attractive? I don't know anyone on Earth who doesn't, but I do find it funny.

I think playing any iconic role when you're stepping into big shoes, into the shadow of people who have come before you and you can't process that.

It is a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father.
