When I do a play, it's like agreeing to be ill for a couple of months.

If you ask any actor "What single thing would make you really, really happy?" Among the top five things they'd say is not having to audition anymore.

Anti-Semitism and Fascism have a long, mysterious, bewildering, poisonous and vile history and it's not exclusive to the Germans.

I'm lucky that I get to play a wide variety of parts.

I hardly even leave my own house.

It's more than usually possible that I won't do a play again. But Skylight is one of the great plays in the English language. I was lucky enough to be a part of it at one point in its life, and it's a timely thing to deliver it again in the modern world.

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