You'd never play Hamlet if you started worrying about who's played it before you.
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 don't feel like a romantic lead; I guess I feel more like a character actor.
I try to be fussy about the parts I play. I think that's quite prudent, it means you're stretching different muscles, and you're scaring yourself by doing something which is out of your comfort zone.
It's a real skill to be able to publicise yourself.
My vanity is I'm terribly romantic! But being married is lovely.
