Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.

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.

Attention gets you the opposite sex sometimes.

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

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.

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