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

I went being unemployed for three years to being the lead in a British feature in the days when we only made two a year, 1990. It was ridiculous really.

Lots of middle class people are running around pretending to be Cockney.

Many times I've sat with a camera and another actor and seen all their fears and insecurities and struggles. You want to support them and help them as much as you can.

Any horror element is as much psychological as special effects.

I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.

I had bags of energy as a kid.
