The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.

I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.

One of the positive aspects from my point of view in terms of lifestyle doing film is that I can say "Well, I'm now going to have three months where I'm just going to hang out and be with the family".

I keep thinking I should get a phone, because everyone's got one and it becomes increasingly difficult to exist in a society where everyone else has moved ahead and you haven't.

I think often in film we limit our imaginations a little - well, quite a lot, actually things get quite formulaic.

As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.

I guess I judge my films by how pleased I am with the work I do, so it's kind of on another level. If they do well at the box office, then that's great. Then I'm really pleased about that too.
