I'm a very good packer, but I probably take too much in the way of toiletries. You only really need a toothbrush, as most places you go to have a bar of soap and some shampoo.

There are two main jobs in acting - the first one is to be a good actor, and the second one is to convince everyone that you're a good actor.

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

I could do Daniel Day-Lewis's job as well as him.

You're an actor - people judge you and criticize you, and praise you and say you're great in equal measure.

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

I once blurted out that I found it impossible to bond with my son Winston because I was too tired. I mean how bloody awful does that sound? What a tosser!
