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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
