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.

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

I suppose I'm something of an eccentric dresser.

We knew, very early on, that we had to be very, very clear that directors need to speak to actors and actresses and be very clear about what is expected, and find out whether they're comfortable with that. Wardrobe has to be in place. There have to be checks.

I've always loved animation and animated films.

What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.
