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

I think I’m quite a lazy person, actually. If I’m not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.

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.

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

Liverpool will always be my home.

You look at any war zone and you talk to any soldiers and they have to blank out - in order for that to work for them, in order for them to survive they have to blank out something in themselves in order to do it.
