A lot of the time when you're doing your own work, it's all in your own head, which can be frustrating if you're prepping for something, especially an audition where it's all in your brain and you go in and no one else has seen it and you don't really know how it fits.

I really do consider myself quite fledgling in my acting career. I've only been doing it for 10 years and that's a short amount of time, really.

Comedy is not something that had necessarily jumped out as something I'd immediately go for.

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.

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.

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

When I'm putting the character together I try to find music that I think fits the character.
