I think my home is in that sort of the part of cinema that's disappeared is where I lived, that sort of mid-budget you know, drama. I suppose that's what I am known for.

No, I'm putting it away, trying to buy a house for my family. The goal is to use the money to move into a big house, so my daughter can have a garden.

I don't like the idea of not being able to knock about the town, you know.

I don't do things lightly, I don't take a job then just phone it in, I've never done that.

I was born in '71, so I remember bits of glam rock on 'Top of the Pops' toward the late '70s, but I had no idea what kind of world it was. I didn't like the music, either.

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.

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.
