Obviously I'd love to have kids and all that. Luckily, as a man, there's not such an egg timer on it, but I'd like to be able to pick them up without Nurofen first.

The danger with playing a part that defines you is that it swallows up everything else.

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

I'm not Welsh and I didn't know that much about Dylan Thomas , and I saw that he's a huge icon of Welsh-ness.

If you're actually being paid to be miserable, and to be as miserable as you can be, that's a very fortunate thing, if you're prone to occasional lapses of spirit.

My sister and I both benefited hugely from the great security that our parents had given us, and then we went off and squandered it all rushing around in showbiz.

I'm unhappy as Dylan Thomas was, because I'm not, but I've had my brushes with sadness.
