One of the reasons I like a suit is because I've never been that keen on my body. The shape a suit presents is always going to be better than anything I can do.

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

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

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

I never go on the net or the web, or whatever it's called.

A way of describing performances that I admire is that there is an absence of careerism. It's a clumsy way of describing it but it sort of does it for me.

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