One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.

I'd like to do a film which is funny.

As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.

No matter who the character is and how big their role, that each person in the story is a human being and deserves respect. Even if they're in the story for ten seconds, I didn't want you to just see them as this entity passing through that's serving all of the other people.

I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.

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

Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.
