I'm keen to have balance, as much as possible.

It can be very intense being an actor; it can be quite a small world. Then you speak to your friend who is a scientist and they have a completely different perspective.

I've never done a superhero movie. It's very nice to you as an actor in several worlds to go and to experiment.

The American vice would be sometimes speaking too loudly. You can always hear American people on the trains!

I'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.

I think I actually did a production of "Under Milkwood," this Welsh play, with my drama group (at school), and I always remember taking everything far too seriously, and that it wasn't just a hobby but something I wanted to keep on doing.

There's so much of a desire in the entertainment industry for newness, a desire to build somebody up and then treat them as old news within six months. I think you'd be naive if you didn't try to hold on to your own way of doing things.
