I like being able to go to a local pub and have great food and particularly love pubs that welcome my dogs.

I love pubs and I love pub culture.

For years, particularly with the advent of the Internet, people have been griping about lessening attention spans.

The Old Vic has always been first and foremost an actors' theatre, a home for great talent and memorable performances.

I would love to do much more singing; it's just one of those things where I can't quite describe what it feels like when you're standing in front of a forty piece orchestra, and there's nothing between you and an audience but a microphone. It's like strapping yourself to a locomotive, and I love it.

You have to stay true to your local pub, and this is my pub.
