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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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