Mainly I was able to perform with music - I played the French horn, I would sing, and I was a drummer in the pipe band. So I think it was a way to show off.

My wife's French. I mean I speak a bit of French but I've lived amongst French, you know, most of my adult life.

I think theatre reminds us what we're doing as actors, because every night and every matinee day, you have an audience telling you what's working and what's not. And that's very good for us as actors to hone our skills.

A lot of parents tell their children that if they want to be an actor, that's fine, but they should do something else first, so they've got something to fall back on. It doesn't work like that, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm just looking for that moment to drop my Jedi knickers and pull out my real light saber.

I've sort of done a play every four or five years I guess if I look back in my career. And I think that's good.

I don't really like to know what I'm going to do before I do it.
