I'm not a writer. I marvel at writing. I am sometimes absolutely astounded when I read something and I think how in the world did that man or that woman sit down at a typewriter, a computer or a pen and an ink well, and seemingly have nothing come between their heart and that pen.

If you haven't turned rebel by twenty you've got no heart; if you haven't turned establishment by thirty you've got no brains!

I like being able to go to a local pub and have great food and particularly love pubs that welcome my dogs.

Directing a film was something I was yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a good storyteller.

The 24 Hour Plays is a quite brilliant, exhilarating event for everyone concerned.

As an actor, youre always nervous as to what a director will do with something.

I always remember is that no matter how good I might be in a movie, I'll never be any better. It's frozen. But in theatre I can be better tomorrow night, I can be better the night after that and I can be better in a week. The journey you go through as an actor is incredible.
