As we get older - perhaps I'm just speaking for myself - we can get too cynical.

Any actor worth his salt has a responsibility to reinvent himself from part to part.

I always go back and do theater. I love it. It keeps an actor improving in a way, it sort of keeps your craft alive, if that makes sense.

I think that, if the world was a bit more like Comic-Con, we'd all be a little happier.

At university I had a big coloured scarf and people would often say, 'All right, Doctor Who?' And, I thought, I rather liked that notion.

Apparently, as a kid, I used to eat spiders. Maybe there's some Freudian significance behind that.

I think that every artistic venture is a risk, and it has to be that way, so you do as much preparation as you can and make that as thorough as you can possibly make it, until you turn up on set. It's about taking risks, and some might work and some might not, but that's what makes it interesting.
