I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now.

It could be Grammy night, Oscar night, whatever - I don't feel the pressure to be there.

You’re directing a movie, but you are at the head of a ship of people, a whole fleet of people. And being able to manage that - being able to handle yourself as a director being a leader - that’s massively important.

The audience loves it when you pay attention to details.

I did a rendition of Billie Jean which is on my Soundcloud. I put it on Twitter, and it got about 3000 hits that day.

Working at BBC, at the head of one of the top dramas, is a tradition for great actors.

One of my first jobs was in a soap opera, five days a week. And what I found is, although there are different directors coming in and different crews, you just lived in your character. It's the nature of the story, the ongoing story, and it can get deeper and deeper.
