I just think the older I get, actually, the better I feel.

Not being anxious requires a level of humility, doesn't it? It does, I think. It's not all about you.

I was concerned about doing the right thing when I was a kid. I suppose as a child, youre a massive egomaniac, and you think that everything you do is going to affect the world.

I was a closet straight. I think I wanted to be gay because I thought it was arty and interesting. And also, I was phenomenally shy with girls.

The urge to act became the overriding force in my life. It thrilled me. There's a moment with acting when you're in the groove, and you and what you're trying to do are seamlessly one. That happens sometimes, and I'm really happy it can happen to me.

I don't plan. I don't think, 'I have to do this kind of part 'cause I've done that kind of part.' I'm not a very good planner.

I never went to acting school. I started in the circus, music hall, I was in a group, did kids bits. Ive always had this kind of insecurity being uneducated.
