I love the stage. I'm always sniffing around to see if there's something I can squidge in quickly.

I love it when television is shot in a cinematic way and I think to aspire to that is no bad thing.

Me and my friend Ioan Gruffudd are like chalk and cheese when it comes to clothes. He lives for his clothes and has an amazing wardrobe. If we're going out I'll turn up at his house and say, 'I haven't got anything to wear,' and he'll tut and sigh and then lend me something swanky.

I do like to keep my private life to myself. But then again, I don't really get up to much.

I have very fond memories of the 80s; they were very formative years for me. I certainly remember the Cold War. It was a closer doorstep for the Brits than the Americans, so it was a very real and palpable threat at the time.

I wasn't one of the cool kids by any stretch. I just bumbled along really.

I love the stage. I'm always sniffing around to see if there's something I can squidge in quickly.
