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'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 often don't feel like the person I look like.

I grew up all over the world. My father was in the army and was posted to a new place every two and a half years. I have no geographical roots.

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

If I could have any artist's work on my sitting room wall it would probably be by Van Gogh or Picasso.
