Often in America people would assume that [as an English actor] you've had some sort of deep, classical training, or that you're a Shakespeare enthusiast. I have zero interest in me performing Shakespeare.

You can ruin your life wanting to be an actor.

I'm one of those weird people who doesn't even own a computer.

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.

You get older and you see yourself and say, 'God, he's old, who's that?'

When you've been going on about something for a while, it is always satisfying to discover that other people agree with you.

It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas.
