I'm sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube.

A girl once came to my beery flat in Kensal Green, opened the blinds and cooked me breakfast. I married her.

I'm a huge fan of The Sopranos, and suddenly, you find yourself going one-to-one with this guy who you've been watching for years, watching every flicker in his eye and every detail on his face.

I love people where, at the end of the day, they'll pick up a paintbrush and paint clouds. They can physically make things.

I think acting, oftentimes it's not about lines, it's about spaces in between lines and expressions on people's faces and their relationships. You can tell your own story, or a story that you're interested in, even if the lines don't necessarily point you in that direction.

I think the most extraordinary thing about fans is the level of excellence that they show in the work that they do. I mean, if you go onto the internet and see some of the fan videos that have been put together, they're just extraordinary; they could be programmes in their own right.
