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

It's always good to find out what you don't want to do.

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.

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.

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've moved into directing as well as acting, and it has taught me never to take casting personally.

All actors think every job will be their last.
