I have a reputation for being an improvisational actor, which is true, but I also know what I'm doing so that if the improvisational strand doesn't work I can go back to what I know's already there.

Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society.

I owe my father everything.

I played a maniac fan who murders a policeman and she did my makeup. I thought anyone interested in me looking like that must have genuinely liked me.

Bullying is a terrible, terrible thing.

I'd love to do a Columbo-type detective character in a series.

The more people know about an actor the less convincing they become. A bit of mystery's a good thing.
