No matter how big a name you are, how many big series you've been in or how good looking you are, in the end, all actors are secondary to the writer.

I've never been up with the times, always been slightly out of step.

I don't like to watch playback. But being on the set, watching the way the camera is being moved and the way the light is being used, you do get an idea of it.

The money is better in films and television. But in terms of acting, theatre is more rewarding.

I want to direct but I think I'd be bloody awful and I don't want to produce but I think I'd be a very good producer because if I believed in something I'd be able to protect it.

I think the themes of belonging and parentage and love are obviously universal.

I think theatre is by far the most rewarding experience for an actor. You get 4 weeks to rehearse your character and then at 7:30 pm you start acting and nobody stops you, acting with your entire soul.
