In 1994 while on weekend manoeuvres in France, I commandeered a Chieftain tank without permission of my immediate superiors. I then attempted to invade Paris. However, en route I stopped off at Disneyland, or Eurodisney as it was then called, and was subsequently apprehended on Space Mountain.

I find acting tough, but sitting around chatting - that's easy.

I like to go home early, that's my thing. My idea of a pub crawl lasts from midday until 5 P.M., then I can go home, play with my kid, have tea and go to bed.

My scripts are always heavily noted. If I can take a director to one side and say, "Do you mind if we try this?," a few days before, that's usually a better way of doing it then on the day.

I'm not good at meeting people, and I'm not good at small talk.

The zeitgeist is ever-changing. If you try second guess what people want, you'll miss it.

It's a very special thing when you go and get to work with your best friend every day.
