Actors make bad lovers. Their most important kiss is for the camera. Not in a superficial way, in a really deep way. They can only give everything if they know someone is going to shout cut!

I think marriage is ghastly.

My grandfather was born in India and three generations of my family served there.

I've done a lot of period stuff but that's mostly because, in England, we get off on a lot of period stuff, but it's not any kind of particular choice. That's where a lot of the work is.

From my point of view, being out is not about anything political. It's just because I can't be bothered to be in.

A lot of straight actors are actively searching for gay roles because it is something different to do.

I don't think kids should have role models. They're disastrous.
