You can be the best actor in the world, but if you don't have that one lucky moment, it kind of doesn't matter. There are a lot of amazing actors who will never get the chance to prove themselves because they won't have that one lucky moment.

I feel arrogant trying to give people advice.

I actually collect old First and Second World War memorabilia.

'Great Expectations' is one of the greatest stories.

The only mistake guys can make is to try too hard with their appearance. There's something very unmanly about it.

Every time I get a role I think, 'I've actually fooled them again, I can't believe they keep falling for this!

Nearly every taping or audition has to be in an American accent, so you don't have a choice; you just have to get good at it. I'm sure you can appreciate accents - it's like learning any skill, you have to work at it and work at it and it takes an awful lot of time, until it's muscle memory and you don't have to think about it anymore.
