I'm always surprised reading my old journals. There's this idea that life is hard now, but then I'll reach that moment where it'll change. But there's no summit. It's a constant climb.

As an actor it's easy to be so self-critical, saying to yourself: "Am I good enough? Am I good looking enough? Am I smart enough?" Yet here I am, so I'm lucky.

Ignore the naysayers. Really the only option is, head down and focus on the job.

I'm more cerebral than I want to be.

My touchstone is just fear and anxiety and I know a lot about those two awful emotions.

I was a shy kid, a late bloomer. At 22, I was probably 16 emotionally.

After many years of self-flagellation, I've realised that beating myself up doesn't get me anywhere.
