Art is all about the experience. I could say I dont really relate to opera, but then you watch Placido Domingo, and you go, Blimey, look at that.

Forget fashion, dress for comfort and for ease of getting through security, so no hats, belts or unnecessary accessories.

I loved working with Mandy Patinkin, I have to say.

Working at the National Theatre is just wonderful. There is no place like the South Bank on a summer's afternoon.

At school, I was the classroom clown - I was always being thrown out for being naughty. Before I left, a teacher called me in and suggested I became an actor.

Normally for work I will fly business class.

When I think about my children and how different their futures might be as a result of climate change, it makes me determined to do something about it.
