My understanding of zombie movies is people rising from the dead, from their graves, stuff like that, and walking very slowly.

Early days, I was a bit racked , particularly when I did Hitler, for CBS . That was hellish. That stayed with me for quite a long time.

At times of the severest depression, humor is what binds people together.

I love sci-fi because it leads in the imagination, and I always say it has the most intelligent fans in the world.

I don't want to be a luvvie actor. It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.

Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines, the empty space between those lines which is interesting.

I've really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.
