As an actor sometimes you can be a bit emotional and forceful, and that's not always the way to be.

I generally get challenged; I haven't been typecast, which is really, really, nice. It's not something that every actor gets, really. It's luxury. Most actors are capable of it, but they aren't afforded the opportunity to express their variety.

Film sets are a strange place, but an exciting place. I do love my work; I really enjoy going to work. But if you just spend all your time on film sets or even on stage, you can become a Michael Jackson figure, living in your own little universe.

Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money.

That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.

Because technically actors are just public servants really. They just tell stories because people need to be told stories. That's all it is. And yet we get treated as though we're important.

I don't want to be all worthy about it, but I don't do red carpets, I don't do events and I don't accept freebies that much.
