And, for any performer, to be able to go deep into character is fantastic. In film you only get to do that if you're the leading character. But in television you get 18 hours to really test the audience and take them to the edge of how far they will go with this character. I can step over this line and I love that.

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

I've had the pleasure and the great luck to work with some incredible actors over the years and you have to observe and learn and take something from it and try and become better yourself.

I loved The Fall; I was kind of obsessed with that show.

I feel very lucky to be making good work still. The confidence of youth, or that sort of competitiveness you get when you're 22 or 23, the impatience - that's probably been tempered. Hopefully I'm slightly better company.

I'd probably have been wealthier if I had stayed with law, but pretty miserable doing it.

I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.
