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

Stories have always been the things that entertain me and make me feel happy and sad and move me and give me the experience of being able to live many lives in one lifetime. It's the best thing about being alive.

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.

For me, what makes life enjoyable is having a shared culture and shared references.

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

On the one hand Twitter gives you the opportunity to engage with people, which is great, but on the other there are people who feel they can say whatever they want, put poison out there, really, without fear of any repercussions.

When you look at all the miracles attributed to Jesus, they're all about change.
