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.

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

I'm useless scrabbling around at home. I get on everyone's nerves, including my own. I'm not very good at amusing myself.

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.

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

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

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.
