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

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

I felt slightly snobby about the genre. My pre-conceived notion of the comic book world had been: "Oh, that's nothing that I need to worry about!"

I've thought about writing, but it hasn't happened yet. It's like schoolwork - you start doing your revisions two nights before you're compelled to turn it in.

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.

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

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