If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.

These days I have to be extra nice in stores. It never fails that whenever I look as bad as I can possibly look or I am sort of cranky because the store is out of something, that is precisely the time when someone one will recognize me and say: 'I really like your show.'

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

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.

When the creator of the show is gone, the actors end up being the people who have been there the longest.

As actors we always say that once the person in a scene gets what they want, the scene is over. It's resolved. But life is never resolved - you're always in the process.

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