I think any actor worth their salt wants to show as much versatility as they possibly can.

I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.

I think, as an actor, and particularly if you are playing the lead in something, you have to view yourself as the head of department for the cast. All of the other departments are accountable and have somebody at the helm who is leading them all the time, and I don't think that the actors should be any different.

Shyness displays itself differently in me. I think it's more an awkwardness.

Some people think I am gay, which I think is awesome.

I think of myself as being Jewish and Irish, despite the fact that I'm English.
