There's nothing more important than a good story.

My mother had lived in London since I was little, so she never got to see my school plays and stuff.

The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.

While I very much wanted to be in a relationship, I didn't want to be in the wrong one.

I personally was driven to be an actor for the love of telling a story. It was very closely linked to being a reader as a kid and being transported by literature and art. It had nothing - zero - to do with anything resembling fame.

I'd pay more just to hear proper English and have everyone keep their clothes on

Personally, all I ever want to be wearing are jeans.
