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

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 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.

Jacobean plays, before Shakespeare, were particularly visceral.

I had bags of energy as a kid.

Any horror element is as much psychological as special effects.

Rather than disliking theatre, I've expressed a preference for television because it tends to deal in its small way much more with issues and is able to reach a broader church of people than theatre.
