It's like playing tennis, you play a different rally with different people. Every actor is different and the chemistry between actors is different.

Everythings a choice. Nobody's born good. Nobody's born evil. It's always a choice.

Every villain is a hero in his own mind.

Actors do tend to get pigeonholed. People want to know who you are so they can put you in a box. It's lovely to be known for such diametrically opposite roles.

What was your first job title?
Waiter. It was at a showy opera festival in a barn in Oxfordshire. I did it for a whole summer and people would be so extraordinarily rude that it made me decide that I would never be rude in my life, specifically to people who were kind enough to serve things.

I love it when you go to see something, and you enter as an individual, and you leave as a group. Because you've all been bound together by the same experience.
