I care more about telly because it made me an actor and there's a much more immediate response to TV. You can address the political or cultural fabric of your country.

I only ever worked on interiors, and an interior is an interior. I don't know what they did about exteriors.

The film is about Joe discovering who his mother and father are and his relationship with them, and the identity crisis he goes through once he finds out who his parents are.

I used my instincts. It's very easy to imagine how you'd feel, actually. I just had to tell the narrative.

I got a tiny part in a play, auditioned for another one and got that as well. Not only that, the first finished on the Saturday and the other started on the Monday which is like an actor's dream!

I heard the various terms of abuse at school and probably indulged them in the way you do as a kid.

What goes down on film is different to what you see with the naked eye.
