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

My chief gifts are - naturally good at all sports with a raw talent for pretty much everything, which if nurtured could develop into improper talent.

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

'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 was obsessed with football when I was growing up.

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

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.
