My career has suddenly started to be the one that I'd always wanted, not in terms of level of success, but in terms of - and this is what I've been banging on about - playing different parts in different media. I was very frustrated, in a physical sense, by people seeing me in a way that I wasn't. And I was beginning to find myself boxed into a corner. Hopefully things have loosed up a bit, and I've gotten better and become more relaxed as an actor.

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.

People talk about me in Arcadia and I think I was okay in it but Ive given better performances in other productions that didnt have the same impact. But I knew Arcadia was going to be an event and I wanted to be part of it.

I do as much comedy as I possibly can but I'm basically limited by the imagination of the secretaries who make the decisions.

Ive gone through long periods without being with someone and got a bit lonely, but not for a while.

I've certainly said I don't want to do any more bad guys, then I sit and don't do anything for a while and then think, "Okay, one more."
