Acting has always been such escapism for me.

Obviously, education is hugely important, along with healthcare. They're the basics and you're hurting your own country if you don't pour money into them.

Every job feels like my first.

Being at the pinnacle of my career is not to turn up in some multiplex blockbuster.

I act because I have to, because I need to find out whether I can do it or not - that's what drives me and excites me and lights me up.

I'd prefer to go under the radar and just do the acting without being famous for it.

I don't want to be doing fashion shoots and being interviewed about where I shop. Who cares?
