I'll never forget anything about Middle Earth. That's part of my memory now so I won't miss anything.

As we mature and grow older we collect a lot of baggage, and a lot of that stuff you collect on life's journey gets in the way of acting. My kids can imagine a character and transform in the blink of an eye. It's so simple for kids, so complex for adults.

I do regard myself as very lucky.

Listening and hearing are two different things, and acting is comprehending what the person is saying, thinking how it makes you feel and responding. That's the key to really honest, truthful, compelling performance.

Acting, to me, is being given the freedom and ability to play, and that's - that's what I love most about it. I feel very comfortable in playing, whether it be in front of a camera or on stage.

Well you just have to own it, I suppose. Own the character, which is difficult.

My life at the moment is a bit like my wardrobe. Organised chaos.
