When I left drama school, my fear was that I'd get pigeon holed into comic acting and I did so much to counter it that I got stuck in the opposite.

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

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

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

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.

I no longer have a style to maintain. I rent a little flat in Los Angeles, I don't take holidays, I don't dine out and I take cheap flights.

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."
