I would like to do something modern and possibly funny.

I would love a bowl of Frosties, but I start the day with something healthier like a bowl of yoghurt or berries.

All history is modern history

Coming back to theatre is something I'm keen to do for the rest of my life. It recharges my batteries, so to speak.

I haven't done as many films as I would have liked. A lot of my contemporaries have done more. I don't have 'I will be a movie star' emblazoned on anything, but I'd like do a bit more screen stuff and then when the time is right come back to theatre. When it is good, theatre takes a lot of beating both to watch and perform.

It's nice to get your glad rags on for awards like the Baftas, but it doesn't happen all the time.
