I got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good.

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.

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.

I'm crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.

I quoted David Hare one of his lines the other day to illuminate whatever point we were trying to make in the conversation, and I said 'What play was that?' and he said 'It was your line, you said it about a hundred and fifty times in The Vertical Hour.'

I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like.

If I'm going to appear in front of people I like to look my best.
