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.

My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough'. That became my mantra.

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

It's such a terrifying thing when mobs of people get together and persecute foreigners.

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.

Any good kitchen should be stocked up in oysters, shouldn't they?

I'm fairly competitive.
