Fame terrifies me. I can say that with honesty. You're terrified that, when people know the real you, they won't like you.

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.

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.

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

Claire Danes is lovely and a really great actress.

What the writers do, and we hopefully can bring to life, is that they present characters who, on the surface, aren't always heroic and their acts aren't always devoid of selfishness.

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.
