I've always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films.

Film sets are great fun. Film people are great people to hang around with. I don't want to run off and be distracted by other things.

I would never say never to returning to comedy.

I've always been a bit of a car freak.

I tend not to read the size of the production into a script when I'm reading it. It's just something you respond to or not and I do think it's very dangerous to say it's time now to do this or it's time now to do that.

I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.

I knew a bit but we don't study a lot of British history at school in Australia. We have our own 50-year period to concentrate on.
