That is what Christmas should be about, I think - togetherness and playfulness. It's like a game.

I think if you stop learning, there's not much point, and so I always hope to be challenged. That's the beauty of this job.

I tried to go to college in the U.K. a couple of times, but at that point, I think I was a little disillusioned with education. It wasn't giving me what I wanted it to. I needed freedom to create and do the things that I wanted to explore, and it wasn't really doing that: it was still very prescriptive.

If I could bring 'The Tunnel' to life, I'd like to do it like that.

I feel like I'm a professional storyteller, really. A lot of people say 'a truth teller,' and, if the writing supports it, that's what your aim is: to try and present people with a series of truths, and then they can make up their mind about those and whether they have any real credence or weight.

I think everybody should like everybody.
