If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.

My father is very Jean Valjean. He's what I would call a great example of a religious person. He is a deeply thoughtful man whose religion is in his deeds way more than anything else. It's not talked about that much.

I had a fairly enlightened dad, though if you looked at his resume, it might not seem that way. He was a chartered accountant for Price Waterhouse. He was strict, and we had a very ordered life. To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car.

I know I'm not known as method. By nature I'm not a brooder. What I continue to use is a mixture of the English school, which is traditionally outside-in, and the more American way of working from the inside out.

My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.
