I've been very fortunate in my career to work across a lot of different mediums. I've hosted, I've narrated, I've acted in television, miniseries, film - all of which are very, very different in the way they tell stories.

When I really get invested in something, the one thing that really disappoints me is when it breaks its own rules.

I never talk about a job before the contract is signed and I've shot the first three days.

I think my children have presented one of the biggest lessons so far in my life. It was only when my kids were born that I realized just how much I'd been living my life worried about what everybody thought of me and, even more strangely, worried about what I imagined other people might be thinking about me.

A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.

I was born in New Zealand, so I have a lot of family there.
