I don't think it was a surprise that I ended up as an actor, and it was anything but a disappointment.

I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.

Most actors are either a shower of bloody scruffs or think they should dress like Hamlet off stage.

Thank you, people of Emmyland. To be nominated in such company is an honour, especially for two shows that I’m immensely proud of. I’m delighted.

I've always got my eye on my deathbed.

There's a difference between the parts that I play and who I am and who people think I am. There's quite a big discrepancy sometimes between those things.

I value being able to go into a record shop and people leaving me alone.
