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'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!

I got a lot out of 'Brothers Sisters' and learnt some incredible things and I think it certainly had come to a natural ending, so it was definitely time to move on.

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

I think my mother would be very happy if I found a nice Welsh girl.

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

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