It's very hard to be objective about something you're in, especially when you set it up against things that you experienced as a child.

Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.

And the very fact of how you speak somehow influences who you are. The way you move, the way you think, it seeps into your being, and it's quite hard to really break that down entirely.

We seem to spend a lot of our time in very small spaces spouting a lot of dialogue very quickly.

I've always been a geek and slightly awkward… slightly umm… I was never the cool kid at school.

I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there's something very appealing and rather heroic in that.

I think doing different accents is part of the job of acting, really. It's something else that I quite enjoy the challenge of, to be honest.
