Live theatre provides a rush you can't get in film or television. But it is the TV and film work that offers the leisure to go off and do a play.

I watch a lot of television and I watch a lot of film and I hate when you watch the action sequences - and I always tell when they use a stunt man - and then they put the actor in and you can tell these actors haven't done anything.

I became fascinated by the fact that you could translate written material into performance.

I'm very physical. I grew up boxing. I've done almost all of my own stunts in movies and in television.

I try to stay in the best physical shape that I can because I do most of my own stunts. It looks amazing if you can do it, but I dont advocate it because you always get injured.
