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

I'm a massive fan of Brit Art in general and Damien Hirst in particular. I think he's an absolute genius and should be celebrated in every way.

Liverpool will always be my home.

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

I love getting stuff, and if I give a present to someone and don't get one back, you can bet your life they won't be getting one next year.

Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.

I couldn't think of anything worse than going to a fancy dress party. So, if somebody invited me to one, I'd go as the Invisible Man and not turn up.
