I'm not famous for my back story investigations; I'm lucky that I work with good writers and it's usually in the script.

I don't want to associate myself with any specific group of politicians.

You have all these plans to act, and maybe do it rather elegantly, and then they turn the rain machine on.

I love playing half squid/half crab guy because you can get away with a level of acting that if you tried it anywhere else they'd arrest you for crimes against acting.

I did pick up a guitar once, but the strings hurt my fingers so I put it down again.

I don't normally watch films I'm in because I'm squeamish about that and it takes me quite a long time to recover and I have to go to work. I'm not being coy or cute, but it's just true.

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