Nobody suddenly discovers anything. Thing are made slowly and in pain.

One of things I'd love to do one day is a Shakespeare with Trevor Nunn. I've done musicals with him, but never Shakespeare. There's no one better.

It dawned on me that acting was what I wanted to do with my life. Nothing had ever touched my heart like acting did.

I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.

My father taught me that losing your temper is a self-indulgent act.

I'd sell my soul for a good cause.

I truly believe that the job of an actor and the drive of an actor is simulating the internal journey in life which is to get deeper and deeper into our understanding of who we are.
