There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.

You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.

The best people to have power are the ones who don't want it.

I kind of weirdly fell into being an action hero...I have no f- idea how that happened. You have to remind people that you want to act rather than just run around

You know obviously a big TV or film break would be lovely, but I find that I’m essentially a theatre trained actor and that’s what I love doing. I love fringe theatres in London, I love theatres like the Royal Court, Soho and the National obviously and if I could work in any of those and be a jobbing actor for a while then I’m very lucky.

It's a nightmare if you're working with someone you don't get on with, especially if you have to be in love with them.
