The whole point of being an actor is to get satisfaction out of a role - unless you're just vain about celebrity.

You're always looking for good scripts and when they're not always forthcoming you go mad.

I'm looking forward to turning 30. I feel like I've been in my late 20s forever.

When you're acting to a piece of sticky tape rather than seeing someone come back from the dead, that's when it's difficult.

One way or another, I've spent a lot of time in breeches and boots lately. I'm pretty sick of hanging round in frilly shirts. It makes you long to get back into your jeans!

I'm a pretty happy person, to be honest with you.
