The British vice is overthinking before we speak, which is really annoying. I love the way that, in America, people are more straightforward.

I cannot stand beer. But I love wine.

When you're a young actor, there's this pressure to rush. But I hope to be doing this into my sixties and seventies, so I'd prefer to take my time.

I'm keen to have balance, as much as possible. I put every ounce of myself into my work, but also it's important that I don't miss every single wedding of my best friends. I couldn't do what I do without my friends and family.

Going to auditions is always so nerve-wracking. I don't think they ever get any easier.

But for everyone, I think, there is always a pressure to conform, and I guess as you get older you realize it's less interesting to do that. It starts with you, though, saying, 'I know what I like doing and that's what I'm going to do.

I've never taken a role where I don't like a person on the page.
