Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can

I like the little bit of distance that London affords me and I like living in a world capital. I like having the culture at my fingertips.

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

I personally think if something's not a challenge there's no point doing it because you're not gonna learn much.

I will always love film, the romance of film, sitting in the darkened room with strangers and watching a story for two hours - that will always remain and never be eroded by television.

I'm interested in pressure, I'm interested in duress. All the great works of art, or film or literature, in my opinion, have elements of those in them.

Sociopath is a word that has sort of become shorthand for psychopath and there's a distinct difference, it's interesting if you look it up. Sociopath if you look at the medical definition, the profile of a sociopath is that they are supremely intelligent people that are also pathological liars, they have no moral structure and there is one more, they have no compassion or empathy for other people.
