I've hung out at dozens of playgrounds, bored out of my mind, with not even a look of comfort from disapproving mothers all around me. Either they think I'm a pedophile or a deadbeat dad. That's what I get for being a single dad - suspicious looks at the playground.

I'm not a great fan of green screen. It's not much fun for actors. It's great for directors and technical people and cameramen.

If you do an American TV series, before the audition you sign away the next five years of your life.

I don't know why British actors are getting big parts in American TV shows. Maybe it's because we're cheap.

The kiss always gets a hell of a reaction.

For a straight man, I seem to have to kiss an awful lot of men!

I think I've got a funny face.
