I don't think I know enough about acting to direct. You need to be a slight megalomaniac, not where you want to take over the world, but where you want to make every single decision and the buck stops with you. It's an awful lot of stress.

I wouldn't say I'm drawn to dark roles, and it's not like I pick and choose.

You spend some time raising a child in London, carrying it around on one side of your body - it puts your back out!

I'm not posh, not in the slightest. My parents spent some money on my education, but I wasn't born to the purple.

Sport used to play a phenomenal part in my life, because I used to play a lot of county sport, a lot of sport for my school. I love team sports. Talk about being with the boys. I love the camaraderie. That's why I like acting.

I'm very much a jobbing actor who's still trying to find a place to rent down the road.
