Any lie should be as close to the truth as possible.

We're sometimes treated like the stupid cousin, so I'm always drawn to characters that make you feel good about being Welsh.

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've aged. 'Patagonia' has robbed me of a decade of my life.

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

I thought maybe I'd be a farmer. That was another silly notion. I think I'd last about five minutes, being a farmer.

I've realised that nobody's going to die if I don't get it right and that there are a number of things out there, beyond acting, that are very interesting and fulfilling.
