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.

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

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

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'll say my dad couldn't act to save his life and nor can my uncle and they'll say I'm the worst actor in the world.
