Dramatically it's always more interesting to conceal rather than reveal things.

In England we burnt redheads at the stake, because we thought they were witches. There are still young redheads in Britain getting ripped for having red hair. 'Oy, Ginger!'

Theres something important, as an actor, about allowing yourself to be approached by people to do roles. People see different things in you.

Acting can be a narrow and isolated experience, because you only examine your particular part.

You know, I think I am faintly spiritual.

I love playing sport.
