Hollywood is my domestic idyll.

Hollywood is my domestic idyll.

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.

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

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.

Im hoping that a lifetime of compromise and disappointment will read as extra depth and layers in my work.

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