I feel comfortable here primarily because I think Los Angeles is made up of people who don't come from here, so you can find kindred spirits very easily. It's a town of gypsies.

Within the microcosm of a film you get drawn to people. There are certain projects you care enormously about, and 'The Edge Of Love' was one because I was portraying a great hero of mine, Dylan Thomas.

I've suffered from an identity crisis my entire life. It's why I went into acting.

I've done a number of projects where people go, 'This is your breakthrough role,' so I've stopped thinking that.

At home I can become lazy and if a Welsh word is really long, I just replace it with English.

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

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.
