Well it's hard to bracket it like that because everyone always thinks you either go to America and you come back, fail or succeed, but it doesn't work like that.

The doctors say it dates back to a film where I had these huge prosthetic breasts because my character was breast-feeding. The weight of them, and of the baby, did my back in.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.

You can see when an actor gets bored: Their eyes go dead. I promised myself I'd never let that happen. If it does, I'll go and live on a desert island for a year.

Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.
