My mum made a conscious decision not to teach me any Indian languages so I wouldn't talk with an accent.

Lets just say I was really bad. Now I have grown into myself. I have changed.

If you don't take the chance to live life, what can you say at the end of it?

The older I get, the more I'm prepared to do things for the money.

In general, I try to avoid anything that I'm in. I've been that way for awhile. I don't know why. You have to watch, professionally, the things that you're required to watch, but it's not something that I would sit down and watch, again and again.

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

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.
