It's never gone so far as me wishing I'd never done 'Quadrophenia,' but there was a time when I wouldn't talk about it because I wanted people to be interested in me for other things as well.

I had a weimaraner for 11 years called China, and he was a great dog, a bit mad. They're massive, weimaraners; they've got big floppy ears. They look like a pointer, but they're liver-coloured.

When I was a kid doing television, they'd stick a leather jacket on me, and I would be the thug.

I don't miss EastEnders. I did a two-stretch. That was enough.

Acting is my passion and Chelsea FC is my hobby.

I'm famous for being a silky midfielder.

My heart's in stage. Making Quadrophenia was exciting because we were riding around on scooters with no crash helmets. But "hurry up and wait" is the anthem of films. Everybody wants you ready, and then you sit doing nothing.
