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.

I love it when television is shot in a cinematic way and I think to aspire to that is no bad thing.

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

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 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.

There's such a unique humour in Wales that I just love and miss in Los Angeles.

In my head, I think I'd make a perfect spy, but in reality, I don't think I'd fare very well.
