A parent can seem very kind and gentle, but as any child knows, as soon as that parent gets stressed, they can suddenly turn and get a bit angry.

Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls, if you'd be so kind.

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality.

I don't do the whole L.A. nightlife thing.

Everyone deserves compassion.

I think I'm becoming more relaxed in front of a camera. I suppose I'll always feel slightly more at home on stage. It's more of an actor's medium. You are your own editor, nobody else is choosing what is being seen of you.

While I enjoy spending time in L.A., Britain is my home.
