I wanted to be the conduit for somebody else's experiences, filtered through me, and passed on to other people. Which is the job description, really.

I'd rather be useful than rich. It's more essential to feel you're doing something that's worth doing, rather than making a lot of money.

I hope to have more time to think, to look at the sky, dealing with less crisis management, to learn another language, to travel.

I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.

I'm hardly Hollywood material - they're interested in youth and perfection and I lay no claims to either. It's not a place that's particularly interested in talent.

I have quite a robust relationship with regret. You simply don't know what the alternative would have been.

I sometimes think that theatre is a torture.
