I started off in theater; I did exclusively theater for four or five years. In the last few years, television has come along but I can still make film. I feel very privileged that I can move between them.

All I've tried to do as an actor is follow the good writing. That's been my main drive. It's not always possible, so when you do come upon it, like when I came upon this, you realize pretty quickly this is something you need to be involved with.

For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.

My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it.

I'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.

I always think it's a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.

For me, drama is conflict.
