It's not so much a thankless task, it's more a job with no thanks

I never have reservations about doing anything as long as I'm being paid.

I do adore food. If I have any vice it's eating. If I was told I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I could put up with sausage and mash forever.

If you turn down work because you are frightened of getting typecast, you'll never do anything good.

I loathe cheese, it makes me ill.

One way of watering down the effects of violence is to approach it in a more lighthearted way. I don't mean to say that you laugh when somebody has their arm sawn off, but you can diffuse fear with humour.

I do remember reading the script of 'The Nightmare Fair' and looking forward to doing it.
