As an actor there's no autonomy, unless you're prepared to risk the possibility of starving.

It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.

Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It's harder.

I was fortunate as a young actor, to go straight to the RSC, where I learned that being an actor can bring with it wonderful responsibilities.

We are seeing a good, healthy cycle now. One possible risk factor, going forward, is the possibility of overheating.

With narration, you have to be very accurate with your voice. It's a good exercise to do.
