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'm a big fan of British cinema; I think we make some unbelievably brilliant films, but they can quite often have a dark feel.

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

I can get quite down on myself because if people don't like what you're doing, it's hard.

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.

My job isn't about pursuing fame and then becoming an actor. It's about becoming an actor and if fame follows suit, that's fine.
