My house is very clean apart from a very small part of it that looks as if we've been burgled, which is my office.

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.

I always try to put myself in the way of surprise as much as possible. My ambition is to keep challenging myself. I like that journey of discovery.

Nothing is my guiltiest pleasure. I love it. I love doing it. I love planning to do it, I love loafing and pottering and chilling and daydreaming.

I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.

I'd really like to get on a Greyhound bus and go backpacking across America.

Liverpool will always be my home.
