I've always taken my love of children from my father. He was a children magnet. Suddenly, having my first child hit home what my dad went through.

Hunger's a great spur.

Acting is a really insular thing.

I was 16 when I was in a band, for about 10 minutes. I went off and did acting after that. So it was a wee moment for me when I sang.

I do tend to divide my childhood into darkness and light, and the first seven years were certainly the darkness.

I've never been good at accepting jobs six months down the line. I can't do it. If I'm thinking about this, I can't think about that. So I always seem to fly by the seat of my pants.

I feel like I'm the luckiest man on the planet.
