TV is an extraordinary medium. You can do things with TV that you just can't do on film. There's so much more time, there's the opportunity for development, and you can let things lay dormant for a period. You can't really do that in two hours or three hours in a movie, that often, I would say.

Just because I never went to university doesn't mean you can't read, although I do feel a bit uneducated from time to time.

I'm not an academic, but I've always loved poetry since I've been small.

I think any actor should be aware of where they're starting to stretch into what's not truthful.

Only when I came to America did I think of myself as British.

I never felt at home in London, because people were constantly telling me I didn't belong here, so after a while, you tend to believe that.

The unknown is always frightening.
