I love New York, but I have to admit that I feel very English, and I do miss that sense of history that you have everywhere in Britain.

It's very, very tempting to make a superhero film or show and make it about the powers.

What I like about fairy tales is that they highlight the emotions within a story. The situations aren't real, with falling stars and pirates. But what you do relate to is the emotions that the characters feel.

Claire Danes is lovely and a really great actress.

Of all the London theatres, the Donmar is the dream.

In other films and TV shows, we might say, "Well, they're just evil." In our show [Daredeval], we're trying to say, "There's bad actions, but not necessarily bad people."

I'm a London lad, but I'm fascinated by America. I want to take a motorcycling trip across the country and see those wide open spaces.
