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

Americans are much more open than people in Britain.

A lot of the times when I've auditioned for parts in America, the answer is, 'Sorry, we need a bigger name.'

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.

So, if they're coming in and having to do scenes that involve nudity or sexuality, in some way, the utmost important thing is that everyone feels comfortable and safe. If there's any gray area, that's going to be a problem.
