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

I would like to do something modern and possibly funny.

Coming back to theatre is something I'm keen to do for the rest of my life. It recharges my batteries, so to speak.

I want to spend as much time as I can with my family, yet I'm aware of having to bring home the bacon.

It’s not a bad lesson to learn in the bleaker months: how you view a storm is a question of perspective; provided you find the right rock to watch it from, it could be the most incredible thing you’ll ever witness.

It's the challenge of trying to evoke any kind of sympathy for a role that ordinarily we would say, "Oh, this is a bad guy" and dismiss him.

I'm shocked at being recognized. You go to places you don't think you would be and still, you are. Taxi drivers often recognise me... but I haven't got a free ride yet.
