That global poverty would end. That people would be able to eat. It's the worst shame in the world that people go hungry.

This is going to sound completely absurd, but I do sometimes feel like the enjoyment of an awards ceremony or the pride in the finished article hasn't ever surpassed the joy of doing the work, of making it. The doing it is really the bit I'm there for.

I started working as an actor, semi-professionally, when I was 16, and got my first professional gig at 19. I guess I've kind of worked pretty consistently since then.

I like finding things out beforehand, because I'm nervous in disposition, and I worry that if I don't do anything, then I'll turn up and I still won't really have a sense of it, and it might be too late. So I like to get things as organized as I possibly can in my own head, to apply myself to the work before arriving to a late-in-the-day rehearsal, or in extreme cases, the first day on set.

All roads lead home in the end. You've got to keep that in mind always - in your work and in your life.

My music tastes are often 20 years behind.

I don't ever feel like I've had a moment where I am like, "There it is; perfect and holy in all ways."
