I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.

'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.

All my good friends are actors, really. It's different when you have a family, but they're still the people I meet most often. My best friend is Ian Hart, but then I've known him since I was five.

Liverpool will always be my home.

All actors think every job will be their last.

In all honesty, we all want our fantasy selves to be the best people. We all think in a time of crisis, we will react heroically and with humanity.

I love telling stories. I like the challenges presented to me on a daily basis. There's nothing resting about acting.
