Doing a film, or being sent scripts to look at a certain character, it's very odd for me. I tend to take it very personally.

I already felt disengaged with my contemporaries.

To quote Agent Cooper, 'I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.'

I'm pretty, for lack of a better word, happy-go-lucky. I take things very seriously, but I'm very aware of people around me. I like to be part of a group that's working together towards something positive.

I've done Graham Norton's show three times now. He tackles taboos and subject matter that wouldn't make it past the censors in the States

I get very caught up with things. I used to be dominated by domestic things. I had a lovely house in LA-and it became this growing, mad obsession
