I am a frighteningly thorough person.

I definitely think that theatre is something I'll keep coming back to in my career for as long as I can. I also think theatre's something you have to be very fit to do. I am fairly fit, but I don't think I could do it all the time.

Religion leaves no room for human complexity.

When you get as lucky as I got, you have to work as hard as possible to earn that luck.

I'm sure when I have a nostalgic, teary moment in 10 years time, I'll try to put the glasses when I was 10 on and cry to myself in front of the mirror

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.

I always saw Michael Gambon wearing madly psychedelic socks, and I always thought that's it is one of the few areas where men can really express colour and have a bit of a dandyish quality to their outfit.
