I never mind doing press; it's never bothered me.

I'm a jacket man. And if I'm without one, I am kind of seriously disabled. I don't know how to operate in shirt sleeves.

I like American black soul music, that was my first big enthusiasm.

Opening a play is just tough. The idea that actors are weirdly protected from it is a myth. If you imagine yourself having to spend two and a bit hours cooking bolognaise, remembering a whole major work by David Hare and speaking it at the correct moment between chopping carrots and stirring the onions in front of an audience - the normal human response is 'Please, can I go to the airport?'

I am a fan of rehearsal. I like doing it [scene] over and over and over and over until it looks like you never did it before.

In the street, people talk to you about all kinds of things, but by far, the most number of people talk to me about Love, Actually.

When it comes to casual clothing, my enthusiasm for clothes starts to waver.
