If there's friends around, I'll cook. Or if I have a girlfriend. But on my own I kind of fell out of the habit of it, and it's a shame really because I know it's good for me. It's something quite therapeutic.

I'm not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don't.

Trying to identify and understand, as opposed to judging, is very important for me, in approaching characters.

What I find really interesting is to try and mix it up, to push myself and try different things. I don't want to stay in my comfort zone. I want to take risks and keep myself scared.

When I go the cinema, unfortunately nowadays, especially with the big commercial films, the audience is spoon-fed through the entire experience and they don't have to do any work.

The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.

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