When I go on the plane to fly home, I'm literally capable of forgetting what I do for a job. That also comes about because I choose to take massive breaks between projects, and because I choose to do this ridiculous thing of keeping home, home.

As an actor I've been attracted to the sort of films that I want to go and see. That tends to usually be drama-related.

I love working with people who have had television experience because I think there's a real efficiency and methodology that comes from that background.

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

Each time you go to the same track you know whether you're improving or whether you're not... it's not open to interpretation. It's measurable - unlike acting.

I think quite often, being on the new set is not what you expect. The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious. I don't think there are any hard-and-fast rules. I just think it really depends on your director and what the general vibe is.

I always find that 90% of the performance, for me, is about what comes from inside.
