I love playing sport.

For me the rehearsal period is the part I most enjoy. It's the creating of the story.

I love going for a swim. Growing up in England, anywhere with a pool seems like the height of glamour to me.

I've always had a 'Work hard, play hard' attitude to life - I still do - but sometimes you get involved in something that needs a calm, methodical approach.

Of course the lower classes have always felt downtrodden and aspired to a better life. But there is this theory that people respond to a class structure in England - there was a time when people knew who they were and knew whom they served and as long as management wasn't abusive, it was a good life for people.

A cricket ball broke my nose when I was a kid so I couldn't breath through it. Before I had it operated on I used to stand on stage with my mouth slightly open.

I've done classical theaters. I played Hamlet myself and Romeo.
