The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies.

I really believe you can carry yourself in such a way that people don't notice you.

When I was younger, people used to say you only really prove yourself as an actor on stage. And I disagree with that. Some of the finest acting I've ever come across has been for film.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

Something I don't like seeing in other people is naked ambition, when somebody is really pushing hard to get to where they want to be. That's the way I look at that word - like you must be stepping on someone to get there. And I've never been comfortable with that.

For me, London is and always will be home.

I think it's dangerous to get into ideas of planning careers.
