I perceive and relate to the world through where I grew up; that's part of me. It's what I judge everything else against.

But obviously, things have changed in many ways since the '50s, when the show is started, in terms of sexuality, and how much access we have to images of it and information about it. But, the same problems always apply. It doesn't matter whether we know a lot more about sex now or if there's a lot more access to it. The same problems of intimacy, of dealing with other people, of connecting and being vulnerable with other people, which is what the show is ultimately about, still applies now, I think.

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

We live in a bubble of the fantasy of death, but the reality of it is something that we obviously all face and have to deal with, at some point.

It's interesting that in searching for monsters to play you often end up playing leaders.

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.

My taste in watching things runs from dramas and low-budget films to high-end fantasy/science fiction.
