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

Although my family - parents and sister - all work in the personnel management business, their real passion is performing, amateur operatic societies and so on.

My tragedy is that all I want is a dog, and yet I have been cursed with cats all my life.

Everyone deserves compassion.

'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big, unknowable questions like what it is to be a human being; the difference between sanity and insanity; the meaning of life and death; what's real and not real. All these subjects can literally drive you mad.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

I think the story of 'Alice in Wonderland' in a way is a reminder that life is frightening, it can shift on you at any moment.
