I think the work is always going to be much better when it's important and personal to you.

I'm happy being an actor, it's what I have always wanted to do. I'm just lucky I got to do it so early.

I bought a house, and I've been decorating it

It's hard to smoke a pipe, and it's actually kind of brutal. It burns your mouth and your throat, and to keep it lit.

So I try not to do press and if you can keep the balance of keeping a certain degree of anonymity and do interesting work then you can hope for a degree of career longevity

It's generally more fun playing the villain

For me, obviously anything that reduces the amount of acting required and makes the process more of an experience, rather than having to synthesize, is incredibly helpful. There were definitely some hardships and some challenges, but eventually all of those hardships and challenges had a positive effect on the work.
