People talk about opportunity knocking, but the gate was always swinging in the breeze before I got to the door.

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.

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

Like someone once said, "If you're going to play the part, you better wear the eye patch." You need to perform the function, you know.

The reason I live in America is because I mean literally every six or seven years I've done something in England. The last lead I had in an English film I did was 1998. So that's why I live here. It's because I get more work. I'll travel back for radio, you know what I mean. I've just got to consider myself to be living in the middle of the ocean, and that way I have a really nice career, if I'm prepared to do television, radio, theater, and film.

Ive always believed very, very strongly that the way you treat people is more important than anything, professionally or otherwise.

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