I dont think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones arent. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each project hoping that a good, if not great, film will come out the other end.

Some kids are good at math, some kids can run, and acting was an interest of mine. Because I knew you could do it for a living I decided, that's what I'm going to do.

I'm a pretty happy person, to be honest with you.

Computers creating art is an upsetting concept mostly because of what it means about humans.

I consider myself really lucky and I always have done. My approach is that if I know I'm relaxed and happy, then I will do my best work.

I really wouldn't want to live in America. I found New York claustrophobic and dirty. I missed England when I was there, simple things like smells and the British sense of humor.

When you're shooting 20-odd episodes in a season, the last thing you want is for each script to be the same tone.
