I've worried more and more as the years have gone on. The more you're seen to be doing well, the more stress there is. You feel you ought to consider things more, and be more fussy - there's further to fall. All these little worries.

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.

Some British actors are snobby about telly, and I don't understand that.

I think people ought to do what they feel useful at the time. If I do things because I ought to do them, I switch off.

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

As much as I long for a sort of security and consistency sometimes, I do enjoy sort of being busted around. I really don't know what's happening sometimes next week, let alone this year.

You never know how films are going to do and it is daunting if I think about it.
