I would never ever talk about my own personal life in an interview.

When I was an actor, I was part of a team, which I loved. You are a part inside something which is larger.

If I have a weakness, it's for timepieces - if I see one I like and can afford it, I'll buy it.

The welfare system was designed to do something different when it was started than what it does now. It was a safety net to help people get back to work: if they were sick, it would help them get back.

If you have extremes of haves and have-nots where the gap keeps growing, the have-nots group together and create social disorder, as they can't see a way out of their situation.

When the weather's good, there's no better place to be than the British countryside.
