challenges acting telling-stories
I love telling stories. I like the challenges presented to me on a daily basis. There's nothing resting about acting.
anxious knew profession
When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, it was like saying I wanted to be an astronaut. Not because it was highfalutin' in any way - just because they didn't know anybody in that field. They were anxious of a profession they knew nothing about.
biggest british buy money time tv
The biggest difference between British TV and American TV is money. But what money doesn't do on American TV, which I thought it would, is buy you time. You don't get more time. You get more toys.
love
My son got me into 'The Mighty Boosh.' I just love that surrealist humour.
coming family great liverpool relationship
The great thing about coming from where I come from - Liverpool and my family - is that we're very close. I have a great relationship with my siblings and their kids.
demonic people quite
'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.
art thinking genius
I'm a massive fan of Brit Art in general and Damien Hirst in particular. I think he's an absolute genius and should be celebrated in every way.
party men thinking
I couldn't think of anything worse than going to a fancy dress party. So, if somebody invited me to one, I'd go as the Invisible Man and not turn up.
thinking surprise goodness
I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.
people want theater
You want people to identify with the person on the screen or in the theater, but you don't want them to identify with you as a person.
squares house savannah
Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.
panic projects starting
I'm no good at down-time. I panic slightly and then plan a project or set up a meeting about starting a project.
real heart creative
I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.
want
It's always good to find out what you don't want to do.
