I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.

I'm very nerdy about my music, and I like interrogating people about what they put on playlists.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be an actor. It has just always been an inevitability on some level.

I've played an awful lot of repressed people.

I love film acting - I'm not snobby about it. I don't think that theater acting's a more noble profession. I think they're both very important. I love both. And in my dream world, I'd get to do both forever.

Lentil dhal is the only thing I can cook.

I would say that maybe directors who act as well are easier with actors. I'm not saying that all directors have this, but sometimes you'll come across a director who sort of looks at an actor a bit like a kind of untrained horse that's been let out of the stable, like they might buck him.
