It's very rare that I get stopped or get asked for an autograph or anything - none of which I mind - but people don't really care that much.

I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.

It's almost a problem how much I enjoy my work.

I have quite a rich inner life, and I'm constantly looking for a way to express that. I haven't found it yet in acting. When you're playing a character, you're only going to find outlets for very specific parts of your inner world.

I could never do stand-up because it's that thing of having to get up on stage. And out of every 10 jokes you tell, nine of them have to get a really good response.

I'm quite confident, but I don't fancy myself. I don't really care about how I look.

Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things.
