British people are surprised that I'm British!

Normally for work I will fly business class.

New York is vibrant, sexy, naughty, always surprising, and has great live music and great fashion.

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

For all its problems, I found South Africa a beautiful country, interesting and inspiring.

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.
