I might have been curious about actors' lives when I was growing up. That's human nature.

We did a lot of that in drama school: intellectualising and maybe justifying your position. 'I am a thinking actor and I have thought this through' - well, just do it. I much prefer the doing aspect.

Everything I put my name to and take part in, I want to be good. That's not saying it will always happen. But I want to make bold choices.

Why does a three-year-old, and it's usually boys, want to drive the tractor or have machinery and be in control of it? I don't know. Why wouldn't you ask to boil a kettle or something? Maybe you would, I dunno.

I keep everything very simple. I like telling stories.

You know, when you finish the day, and you finish the scene, you don't get a chance to go back to it. So you wanna make sure that everything is left on the floor.

I've always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.
