I was never very happy at school.

I don't think many people get to play big emotions in life.

I've never been a fan of directors who clutter a piece with all sorts of crazy preconceptions or weird ideas.

I've been exploring a lot of different avenues with a number of very different and very, very exciting filmmakers and writers. That's been the trip. I like to find something very, very different from the last thing I did, which might be similar to something I've done before, but as long as it's different from the last thing I did, it keeps me entertained.

At the age of 11 I was about 6 ft. tall and my voice had completely broken. That caused problems. I was this gangly, spotty, very unattractive kid. I wasn't cool and I wasn't a nerd. I didn't even want to fit in with anyone.

I never quite toed the line.

Soap opera seems to be a dirty word, but actually they are the most popular shows we have.
