I'm determined not to lose my name. It's who I am. It has neither aided my progress nor hampered it. It's just who I am.

To be honest, I think that I am a bit of a singer, coming from Wales; being Welsh, we are all very proud of our singing heritage.

I am neither a Bengali nor am I from Delhi's St Stephen's. I am an Allahabad boy.

I know there are some actors who are just brilliant at improvising and brilliant at just being in the moment and doing it there and then. I'm not one of those actors.

It's interesting - an actor's research is different to just historian's research. I'm looking for things that I can actually physically use in the movie.

People in America and Hollywood are very good at pronouncing my name, to begin with. Socially, they're very adept at listening to somebody's name and repeating it, cleverly in the first couple of sentences so the name sticks to begin with.
