I'm not a Tony Blair impersonator.

I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.

As a general thing, I've always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath.

I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality. The more fantastical characters, or fantastical worlds that they inhabit are really fun and allow you, in some ways, to tell stories and reveal things about our lives that would be harder to take, in a more realistic setting.

I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.

I love being able to play as many different characters, in as many different worlds as I possibly can. That's what I really enjoy.
