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.

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

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

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

I first went to the Chubut valley, the colony that runs about 800km across the width of Argentina, in 2000. My uncle had been there tracing family and came back saying I had to go. So a year later I did.

As for waxing, I've never waxed in my life and I never would. I'm extremely Welsh, so I draw the line at removing body hair.
