If you look round Hollywood there's no end of white smiles and six packs. Long lines of beautiful people lining up to be incredible on film.

I'm here to challenge myself and to see whether I can shape-shift in an environment that's actually quite daunting, but which I think would be nice to shine a light into. The destination of any interesting drama is that you shine a light into a place that not many people know about.

The only thing I can do is wipe my arse, brush my teeth, turn up and do the best work I can.

My job is to show and tell. If I get better at showing and telling then presumably I get hired more.

Whatever character you play, remember they are always doing something they are not just talking.

We're all flawed human beings and we all have a cauldron of psychosis which we have to unravel as we grow older and find the way we fit in to live our lives as best as possible.

It doesn't matter who you are. What matters is your plan.
