I'm also a fan of ridiculously coloured and patterned socks.

My taste in the films I've taken as an actor is similar to what I'd do a director or writer: all quite odd, challenging stuff, slightly off-the-wall.

A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I'm not good with blood and gore and all that stuff. It's not fun for me. There's nothing entertaining about watching a film like that.

For ages, in my lunch hours, I would just go round and choreograph fight scenes. For fun. So now I'm very good at being thrown around. I bounce, in the words of my friends.

Don't try too hard to be something you're not.

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.

How irritating it must be for people, to be bombarded with me!
