There are two types of poets: People who write poetically about their lives, and poets that live poetically and write about it.

Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.

I always feel that if you put me in a room with a director and a writer and let me talk about the script, I can give a good account of myself.

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

The one piece of advice I would give to any actor is, if you want to go out on the street without being recognised, without even being looked at, go out with a 6ft 8in beautiful transsexual. No one gives you a second glance. Especially when you're 5ft 5in.

The thought of dancing scared me. A lot. Because I have absolutely no aptitude for it.

I'm very comfortable discussing my personal life, because it's so boring.
