I'm quite a curious person. I don't mind being the one who doesn't know things, a role I often play in QI.

I'm a very curious person.

I'm a curious person. I pursue things based on what sparks my interest. I'm not thinking about what role I play. I don't have to be a movie director or this or that. I just want to be part of projects and places that are of interest to me.

Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.

I like pubs too, but it's hard for me to go and get proper bladdered in the way I used to. I don't want to moan about being recognised but I do get a bit of grief sometimes.

I watch people from the top of buses who don't know they're being watched. It's quite fascinating.
