My grandmother was utterly convinced I'd wind up as the Archbishop of Canterbury. And, to be honest, I've never entirely ruled it out.

For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.

And I particularly like the whole thing of being boss. Boss and employee... It's the slave quality that I find very alluring.

Most actors really love it, that's what they want to do. They burn to do it. And so they'll read a script and think, that's an interesting part. And because they love acting, that blinds them to the fact that the rest of it is pretentious nonsense, which it very often is.

Basically, my life is so boring, it's embarrassing.

I'm a laugh tart. I make no secret of that fact.

But I just know from experience that accent wise, even if you're an accent genius, crossing the Atlantic is the hardest thing in the world either way.
