I never contemplated. I just went in there and did my acting. I never thought, "What's the character actually feeling here? What's he trying to get across?" And never looked at it from that classically trained actor's point of view.

Theater was such a different school of acting. But it really is a foundation of everything. It's where it all started! And I feel like I learned so much.

The great thing as an actor is that I don't know what my agent is going to call me with next.

I wasn't bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn't speak up too much in class.

If someone wants to employ me, whoever wants to employ me, I'll go and do that. I just want to work.

You hear about all the great British thespians doing stuff on the West End and that kind of thing, and I missed out on that. Alan Rickman actually suggested to me that I should try it. And I thought, "Geez, I really don't want to do that." But he must have recommended it for a reason, so when an opportunity came up, I took it. And it was tough. It was hard! But by the end of it, I absolutely loved it.

I never went to drama school.
