Producing is a world of compromise and actors are utterly spoiled all the time.

It's sad that children don't spend enough time looking around and being amazed by what's in the real world.

Why do you think so many actors are only half-developed people? It's very easy when you're a young actor to have these intense, explosive friendships for short periods of time, because you can control what's shown of you. Then you go on to your next job and reinvent yourself again. I think it's important to find something constant.

That's all you can do as an actor - take the best thing available.

I think you can't be really posh and be an interesting actor. I'm a bit of a posh rough.

I came of age as a male lead actor just as the TV landscape dramatically shifted.
