If you're feeling insecure and you need to feel special, the best place to go is somewhere foreign where people treat you as special because you're different.

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

With the theatre, your whole day is geared towards the evening's show, and that's the job. People usually go to work about 9 and come home around 5, or maybe 7.

I know people think that I always play these characters who are in control and can chop someone's head off with a look.

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.

When I speak English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that's very irritating. It's the whole class thing.

I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.
