I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain.

I generally do things I'm proud to be in and generally I'm in things people like.

From my point of view, it's very refreshing to play a regular human being and not someone from another dimension. When I say "not act," what I mean is just to be as natural and as normal as possible.

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.

As you get older you feel you need to pay more attention to what is around you and relish it. I'm greedy for beauty.

If you ever see me in a social setting wearing any sort of sportswear, then you know I'm in crisis.

The job is the same - to attempt to make it sound like you've never said it before and as if it's just occurred to you. And that's the same whether you're on camera or whether you're on stage in a room full of people.
