Now, playing a love interest can be really thrilling, if you're working opposite thrilling people.

As a younger actor you want to be approved of, you want to gain respect, be admired. All of those things. To say: 'This is me playing this character. And aren't I fantastic!' I don't feel that so much now.

I'm a bit of a Doubting Thomas - always worrying about things.

I'm a late developer.

I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge.

I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.

I have a feeling I will work for a long, long time. I like it a lot... and I don't know. I just have a feeling that I'm going to be one of those people who go on for ever.
