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

I had a huge imagination. My granddad says I was a bit of a Walter Mitty character.

I hate publicists and publicity. But I love the people.

Maybe it's a little ambitious of me to presume that no matter how big the film is, that I can always go down to the shop to buy a pint of milk.

Love is doing something you don't want to do for someone you don't particularly like at that moment.

I'd learned how to lie and manipulate from an early age so a combination of that, desperation, having to have my own fridge and my umbilical cord back... I had to go out into the world. Then some angel somewhere said: "Have you considered going to drama school?" And this sounded like the solution to all of my problems.

I think it's important that you always transform if you can. That's what I was trained to do. You try and hide yourself as much as you can - that's the key to longevity.
