I like to think of myself as versatile, and I certainly have the most varied career, so I'm very, very lucky in that.

Generally when I'm filming something, I have a sort of exaggerated, comical, sort of grotesque version of the same scene running parallel in my head. With this process, you get to let it out of the box a little bit.

You always think, "Oh, I'm sure I could have done that better." But generally speaking, I am very proud of this.

The improv technique does one of two things. It either makes you raise your game, or retreat into a corner and decide to find a new career. But you do feel like you want to match and develop things.

In the periods of my life when I've had least contact with the Church, I've always assumed a belief in God is a solid thing, but clearly it's a relationship; it has good days and bad days.

You're always a bit blind. If you look at stuff a few years later, you get a more objective look at it.

Somehow I find it easier to inhabit characters if they are a little bit pathetic. I do seem to have an affinity with pathetic people.
