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

Liverpool will always be my home.

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

When you are an actor, rejection and disappointment are an occupational hazard.

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.

I've got a great family and a beautiful house. I feel very lucky as far as my lifestyle is concerned. I'm not really interested in fame and all its trappings.

I like to act because I can forget about everything else.
