I'm not as self-destructive as Dylan Thomas, but I've certainly been around that behavior enough to have found it a release. The thing that I really enjoyed was being able to play misery.

Stories about vicars are always being told because they're at the heart of our society. Vicars touch all parts of the community and see life in all its extremity.

I actually don't subscribe to the notion that comedy is easier than drama. When you're trying to be funny and you're not funny, that's really terrible. It's a horrible feeling.

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

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.

I prefer to be flippant about acting, just in case I'm rubbish.

For me, faith is more about aspiration than complacency - the smug satisfaction that other people find distasteful.
