And I think that, of course, there is some dysfunction of needing to be liked or noticed or to feel part of things, something going on there for most actors. For some there's not and I think they really struggle with it.

My favorite play in drama school was 'The Bacchae.' It's about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy - it's related to the word 'bacchanal' - and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires.

I always felt love from both my parents.

My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

I've dreamt of being in a movie musical for a long time. For some reason I never even thought 'Les Mis' would be possible.

I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.
