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

It's funny the more technological advanced everything gets, the more like acting in your bedroom when you're a kid it is.

I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.

My rule of thumb is that I want to do things I'd like to go and see myself.

I'm not a Tony Blair impersonator.

No matter how difficult things are, and no matter how much grief and loss there is, you can turn it into something positive.

I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.
