That was the good thing about having different directors [on series]. You had to stay on your toes.

I'm a lucky person. Thank God. And I'm conflicted. Thank God.

I actually quite like working with kids and I like working with animals, which everybody says you shouldn't do. It makes you feel like you're not acting, as soon as you have someone who's providing stuff to react to.

Smaller movies are great because you don't have to argue with so many people all the time. But really I like arguing so there's a balance either way.

This is crazier and louder than I was prepared for. With every week, the fervour and anticipation seem to grow. People know my name and ambush me in public and try to figure out what hotel I'm staying at and ask me to bite them and want to touch my hair.

It's supposed to feel totally foreign [to play in a series], every single time. But, going back for another go at it is good, on the one hand, but it's also bad, on another hand, because your ideas dry up sometimes, and also you get lazy sometimes because you're around the same people.

I'd go and get really drunk somewhere ... in the street. Pass out somewhere and sleep in the gutter.
