One of the great things about being an actor is that you have a completely different challenge every few months.

Im not a big fan of patterns. I like the unexpected.

I like doing things that are very wildly different. I find that the meat and vegetables of being an actor is doing things that are completely different, all the time.

I don't have much time for real violence at all. I think there are infinitely better ways of changing the world than using violence. Sitting round a table talking is a pretty good start.

I've never been "celeb-y" actor. You know, you don't catch me falling out of nightclubs at three o'clock in the morning. Well, very rarely! But I find it all a bit baffling, the whole celeb thing and I don't really get it.

I think the older I get, the less I should be doing.

One of the great things about drama is that it makes you feel like you're not a crackpot, and that there are other people who think and feel the way you do.
