When I started in the theater, the joy for me was playing different parts, and I get set alight by different people and different worlds. The biggest joy for me is jumping around and going from that to this to that, never feeling that I'm any one thing - because I'm not, and we as people aren't.

There's certainly a huge element of luck in me ending up where I've ended up.

For me really good acting is about subtext.

I'm the git in the family.

I couldn't bear a marriage in which one partner hinges on the other.

America's been very, very good to me. I've been very lucky and worked a lot there, and appreciate and love the work that I've done.

There's not a big gun culture in England at all still.
