There's a lot of content out there that's for an older audience but what struck me was that people who like those grittier, slightly punchier shows could still watch this but with their children as well.

I never went to stage school or anything like that. It was always plays, productions at school and things like that. The thing for me with acting was it was the only thing I could fully concentrate on. I loved playing sports. I didn't really love studying.

I'm not good at just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, hoping that the perfect role is going to turn up.

If I look at the people that I look up to, a lot of them don't come to the forefront until their early to mid-30s. I think the most exciting roles are definitely yet to come.

I did listen to 1920s jazz or Al Johnson and a lot of early singers coming out of England. I would branch out a little bit to get a sense of the world that he might be coming into, in the '30s when jazz was changing.

I want to be 82 and doing movies with Paolo Sorrentino where people are like, "This is gold."

A challenge is always important; as an actor, as a human, it's good to face challenges and it's good to push your boundaries.
