It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas.

I've always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I'm an actor, but felt sorry for me because they'd never seen anything I've done.

If you ever see me in a social setting wearing any sort of sportswear, then you know I'm in crisis.

One of the things that is assumed about actors is that they are extrovert, which is almost never the case, in my experience.

I like sci-fi.

All actors who have been around for a long time, which I have, and have been skint for long periods, which I have, find it difficult to turn down jobs. If I turn anything down my stomach turns over. I feel sick. It feels like gambling.
