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

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.

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.

I wasnt a model schoolboy. Of course, I was forced to sit through Shakespeare and I really got into some of it, though it depended on who was reading it out.

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

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

Quality is subjective. There are quality blockbusters; there are quality versions of every genre and it doesn't necessarily mean money.
