My first love is art, and I see a lot of things in an artistic way.

I think I have a natural, if I can say that, got a kind of natural ability in comedy.

Guys, particularly in the West, go to the gym and train for hours and hours to pick up something that is heavier than them. Why would you want to do that?

Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.

Each performance and each film is what it is. It's right and belongs within that moment. You look at it and try to make it fit your particular part of your character and your particular film.

Most of the time, you find that the smaller the budget, the more the project is about something substantive.

I'm in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want.
