When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

We're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely

I generally find an affinity with a lot of the people I play and I suppose if I didn't feel an affinity for them then they wouldn't be particularly good performances.

As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great.

I used to have two double espressos a day. I gave that up, had headaches for five days but now I'm feeling great.

Both my parents are English and I was born in West Africa, and I moved around as a kid, lived in Bristol, lived in Buckinghamshire and Surrey as a kid, and then moved when I was 16.

I packed coffee once when I lived in Australia, and I just remember going around every day with coffee up my nose and in my ears.
