Quote

I'm not an actor who consciously accesses bits of my life, in order to play parts. Obviously, you don't need to have been a father to play one, otherwise everyone who's been a father would be able to act.

I am a fan of rehearsal. I like doing it [scene] over and over and over and over until it looks like you never did it before.

One of the reasons I like a suit is because I've never been that keen on my body. The shape a suit presents is always going to be better than anything I can do.

When you are in something that you're proud of and it's funny and it's a good night out and all of those things, there's nothing quite like it. The rewards are proportionate to the amount of alarm and distress it causes you.

All actors who have been around for a long time, which I have, and have been skint for long periods, which I have, find it difficult to turn down jobs. If I turn anything down my stomach turns over. I feel sick. It feels like gambling.

I've always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I'm an actor, but felt sorry for me because they'd never seen anything I've done.

If you ever see me in a social setting wearing any sort of sportswear, then you know I'm in crisis.

I have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance.

Standing in front of a fake mountain with fake snow falling and seven girls dressed as Santarettes will stay in my memory.

With stage, you feel completely like you're just in a bubble. I love not being able to see anything. I love coming out and I can't see anything because the lights are so bright and it's pitch black. That's ideal for me, that's when I have the best time.

I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.
