The hardest part of acting is not being guaranteed work. Every job could be your last.

I know there are a lot of people who like to get very involved in their characters, but I, personally, find it too involved. I just like to do it as a job - and it's my job to make it look real.

Ideally you do want people to treat you professionally in return, but not everyone necessarily does that. This acting job - it pays very well and you get to live a wonderful lifestyle, but it's something that I love doing, so I want to work with other people who enjoy it as well ... Maybe if I met the Queen I'd be nervous, though I'd probably be more nervous about doing things the right way because it's a very formal occasion.

People have this belief that actors are able to go out there and say, 'Oh I choose this job,' but most of the time we're just taking the job we can get. We don't just get offered thousands of jobs; we might earn one job a year and that's the one we'll take because we've got to pay the rent.

I never thought of myself as unlucky. When you aim high, it's tough to get there unless something really fortunate happens.

It's difficult to judge other actors, because as an actor you're looking at different things than what an audience is looking at.

I wouldn't necessarily be star-struck. I haven't been yet. But I don't know what happens in the future - maybe one day I will be. You never know.
