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

I never quite toed the line.

A British porch is a musty, forbidding non-room in which to fling a sodden umbrella or a muddy pair of boots; a guard against the elements and strangers. By contrast the good ol' American front porch seems to stand for positivity and openness; a platform from which to welcome or wave farewell; a place where things of significance could happen.

It's nice to get your glad rags on for awards like the Baftas, but it doesn't happen all the time.

All my early school reports from the age of 5 were 'Daniel must learn not to distract others.'

The female attention I have to struggle hardest with is from my two-year-old daughter.
