No one will guide you in the right direction, in the end you have to learn for yourself. You have to grow up yourself.

I don't feel like a romantic lead; I guess I feel more like a character actor.

You'd never play Hamlet if you started worrying about who's played it before you.

I would hate not to do a play every couple of years. I think it's not me.

It must be odd, being recognisable. I would hate to lose that anonymity. It happened for a while with 'Spooks.' No one notices me now.

I love TV and I love making films and I love doing plays. I feel very lucky to be able to do all three.

I can't throw books away. My wife is always telling me to get rid of some.
