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.

I am one of those actors who does feel a change when a wig and fake nose are put on. Even the weird little things, like glasses - it's almost like having a mask on.

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

I'm certainly not one of those actors who remain in a dark place the entire time in order to be doing the scene. I sort of come in and out of it. It can be to the detriment of my performance sometimes!

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

I call Sally Field 'America's Mother!' She is incredible to watch.
