I was, if you like, a successful schoolboy in that I had a degree of talent in all the required things that make you a success at school.

Quiet people, people who arent given to emotional outbursts, people who are economic with words - theyre also fun to play, but you find yourself needing a laser precision in those roles. Otherwise you just sort of stand around, looking slightly brain-dead. You worry about being uninteresting.

You know, I think I am faintly spiritual.

It's good to be busy on a film set because there is a lot of sitting around, so if you've got two roles to play at one time, then that's great to do.

I have a three-year-old and a four-year-old at home, and my mornings are about just dealing with the fact of that. I oddly enjoy it.

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

I don't believe Jesus was the son of God, although I'm inclined to think he might have been a great prophet.
