Id never really considered film. If Id thought about film more growing up, I probably would have changed my name. I had no concept of my name in lights.

Reporters tend to launch on what seems to be the clearest, most stark aspects of someone's life in terms of an interview.

I wanted to be an actor ever since I got on stage for the first time, aged 13. Before that, I thought I might follow in the medical footsteps of my parents: my father was a doctor, my mother a pharmacist.

Practically everybody I've ever worked with, I'd like to work with again. I had a great time with the people that I've worked with, and the directors, and a lot of the casts. There's really nobody where you'd say, "Oh, I got X, Y, and zed again! Gahhh, no!" It really brings a smile to my face, because in 95 percent of the cases, people I've worked with, I'd be thrilled to work with again.

I was always lucky that I've always had a gig, I'm fortunate in that way.

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

Working in this industry, I do feel that science and creativity turned out to be a very useful combination for me.
