If I don't believe in a role, I can't pull it off.

Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor's trade.

In my industry, everybody wants to know everything about you, and its just dumb. I think the only way of maintaining some of that mystique is by not giving away too much about yourself. It has served me well so far. I never want to feel up for grabs.

I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.

I'm so boring that press kind of leave me alone now. People will believe what they want to believe anyway.

My phrase has always been that I am looking for the versatility of theatre in film. I think I have been quite lucky in that so far.

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.
