I'm in a position where I'm being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don't know who I am.

My idea of quality is my own idea of quality. What I do and what I want to do next is my business. The next thing I fall in love with might be what you think is rubbish.

Yes, years of compromise and disappointment have added depth to my acting.

My favourite things are just wandering from place to place, going to cafés, taking photographs. My favourite day is a happy accident.

My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son's perspective.

It's good to remind yourself that you're lucky to be working at all. It's very easy to get into the mindset of ingratitude and I battle with it all the time.

I think the only thing I've got going for me as an actor specifically is the fact that I can change.
