As a child I was taken to the pantomime or the theatre and I would always, always fall in love with somebody on the stage. And want to have sex with them.

There are people who are younger than I who are more uptight than I am. It's not necessarily an age thing. I mean nobody is offering me 20-year old leads any more.

I played music all through school and I kind of performed that way.

I find politicians so desperately boring. I don't trust them and don't believe in them.

I was spending a lot of time in trailers, you know, on film sets surrounded by film people.

When you've got a date on your calendar saying that you will be putting this in front of people in four weeks, that will get your nerves good, yeah.

I’ve always been really uninterested in politicians and the acts of the Houses of Parliament, or government as an idea. But I’m interested in politics in that I’m a member of the world, and I have strong feelings of right and wrong, but I can’t get into the ins and outs of it.
