Moths are the ones that freak me out. It's something to do with the way that, if they get squashed, they turn to dust. There's something very wrong about that. It all feels a bit Gothic.

There's a morality... I think there's a moral compass but whether that comes from religion or just from being a good person, and where one starts and the other begins... I'm a good person, I hope. But I'm never as good as I want to be, never as nice as I want to be, never as generous as I want to be.

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

I remember a conversation with my parents about who the people on the TV were, and learning they were actors and they acted out this story and just thinking that was the most fantastic notion, and that's what I want to do.

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.

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.
