I look my best when I take my helmet off after a long motorcycle ride. I have a glow and a bit of helmet hair.

But it's healthy - whatever you can do to keep you fresh and awake. Acting's such a ridiculous job and sometimes you need to look at it like that to get a sort of degree of freshness.

I've never been someone that's had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn't give you the chance to be flexible.

It's got to be a challenge but at the same time you have to feel as though you can play them - it's really dangerous to want to be a part of something just because you think it's going to be great. I've been sent plenty of scripts where I've known that it's going to be a great film and a successful one, but I just couldn't convince myself that I was the right person for the part. So, I think you have to be careful with that.

I would never say never to returning to comedy.

I think I wasted a lot of my youth, falling for girls who were a couple of years older than me.

If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?
