I want to play real characters rather than young leads in very plotty things. I want variety.

I'm trying to play parts which are a little more out there, but I want variety.

The endless teen franchises that come out of Hollywood... more often than not, the central character doesn't have any discernible character traits. They're just the young, good-looking guy who goes on this journey. They're always played by fantastic young actors, but ultimately, they're not very interesting characters.

I can afford to get Tesco's finest sandwiches rather than the basic ones.

I want to surprise people and do different things and maybe do something that's not quite financially rewarding.

I don't want to look back at my career and see a string of incredibly commercial projects that don't have much heart. I'm looking for things that have soul.
