I love Dead Ringers. A democratic set, the work was taken seriously.

We all need a firm sense of identity.

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

Twelve years on sets watching directors, I've taken a bit from everybody and rejected a lot.

Any horror element is as much psychological as special effects.

Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down's Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming.

It can be very difficult to trace your birth parents.
