Acting can be a great job, but you do have to make up things to do when you're not working.

You could probably go three or four months without the word 'God' coming from my dad's mouth; Mum would pray for a parking space.

There is a guilty pleasure in being rude and knowing that it's acting rather than you. But you get the same release as if you were being rude in life.

I think we should be able to work until we want to stop, which is what I'm going to have to do.

Every time I've been to Los Angeles, I've hated it. My brother works there, so I usually go each year for a holiday.

It suits me to be in a series that takes ages to film.
