If you can have a show that has quite strong morals and cover important themes but be able to put them out to a broad audience, that's an interesting thing.

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

I like going to see live bands. Live bands can be quite heavy, but I think it's very relaxing at the same time because you feel so happy and chilled-out.

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'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 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.

There are a lot of great young actors coming out of England who have maybe not gone to drama school, but I wish I had.
