I couldn't get as big as a bodybuilder. I tried to put on as much weight in the right places as I could. My weightlifting was impressive for me, but not for some of the guys I see down at the gym.

You feel yourself working to show something. I've learned to distrust that feeling.

Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film.

I don't feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs, unless they're extremely well informed.

Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film.

I should say, a piece of advice that was given to me very early on by the principle of RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) which is where I went. When he auditioned me, he said, "Your speech, monologue, is fine. It's good. Yeah, I think you have ability but you're making it happen. Don't make it happen, let it happen." And that's a sort of subtle shift I think, as an actor.

Ridicule is also a weapon against forces of evil. Really clever, intelligent ridicule.
