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

I'm famous for being a silky midfielder.

Acting is a tough industry. There are a lot of kids out there at drama schools and not a lot of money about, especially as the arts are being cut.

I think that's what keeps you grounded - having your own life that's not directed by your job.

I used to go into bars on my days off, and I decided that wasn't too good for me.

My philosophy is to enjoy yourself. Do the things you want to do, like play golf!

I get on with actors, and when I'm doing a theatre show, it's great being with them all the time. But we're all alike, and it's much nicer being with people who are different.
