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.

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.

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

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

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.

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