The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.

I'm not famous for my back story investigations; I'm lucky that I work with good writers and it's usually in the script.

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

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

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.

I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until I got one, and now they seem sort of meaningful and important.

One of the things that is assumed about actors is that they are extrovert, which is almost never the case, in my experience.
