If you don't look like Rupert Graves or Hugh Grant, they'll have you playing the gardener.

I keep mementos from everything I've done.

Very few movies I've done I regret being involved in.

I think at some point every actor has practiced their acceptance speech while they're having a shower. It's fun.

One of the things that I was interested in about Moriarty was - he's so manipulative that he doesn't need to commit violence himself or kill people - he can get everyone to do what he needs to do. And sometimes they don't even know that they are being manipulated by him.

I thought if I went somewhere where I didn't know anybody and they didn't know me I could start all over again.

I've done quite a lot of dying on shows and in movies. To have a good death scene though - come on, it's brilliant. I love a good death scene!
