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

I don't think there's anything that I would really baulk at doing on-screen. I don't think so. I've got certain pet peeves about writing... my pet peeve about reading scripts is when they give you a line reading and there'll be a line but next to your character's name it'll say 'very angry'. But I'm like: "Well, I'll decide that actually!" So, there's little things like that. That's a slight pet peeve.

I think it's useful, as a famous person, to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets, and wondering when you're going to find out.

I'm certainly lucky to have got famous through something that was so well liked, generally speaking.

It's important to say that the more challenging a scene is, in a way, the more fun it is because the more of my job I get to do.

One of the things that I cannot fathom is young actors who will not audition and won't read.

I have a very busy personality.
