Like anything, you've gotta find the humanity in the characters.

I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well.

True love, especially first love, can be so tumultuous and passionate that it feels like a violent journey.

As much as Id love to be a successful actor, the thought of being recognised in the street is petrifying.

It's important to know the kind of character that you need to be building up to, throughout the series.

I'm selfish when it comes to work. I'm like, "Oh, that will be fun! I wanna do that!" I never think beyond my participation in a project.

My upbringing was middle-class but my parents' families were both working-class so I had this odd combination of working-class background but in a privileged position.

By and large, reporters and editors are devoutly secular and deeply distrustful of those who act on faith.

Today I begin a new life for I am the master of my abilities and today is going to be a great and beautiful day!

If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.
