By the time you are 30 you are still trying to make your 15-year-old self happy but you are a different person. You need to be brave and let go of that.

I remember someone said to me, Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep. Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.

I think when you work on a Woody Allen film the actors become a real company, probably more than on any other film.

I find increasingly that the more extreme are the things going on in your life, the more cultural reference points fail you. More mythical reference points actually help, and you realize that's what myths are for. It's for human beings to process their experience in extremis.

I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.

I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.

I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy - not so much horror because I get a bit scared.

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality. The more fantastical characters, or fantastical worlds that they inhabit are really fun and allow you, in some ways, to tell stories and reveal things about our lives that would be harder to take, in a more realistic setting.

It has to be absolutely believable. It's also going between images and scenes with nudity and sexuality that would be seen, in conventional terms, as kind of sexually exciting. It's up against things that are much more medical and gynecological, and notoriously we, as a culture and a society, have some issues with that kind of thing.

I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.

Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls, if you'd be so kind.

Getting older is a struggle. I always feel that just under the surface of acceptance and enjoyment of the ageing process is a terrible hysteria just waiting to burst out.

When you come to actually act, it's a game. It may be a very serious game, but it's still a game. If you lose that sense of play, the work suffers.

You don't want to get into doing the same thing, over and over again. I know I don't.

I can be a lazy dresser.

Acting itself is quite scary. Some people say that actors are show-offs, very egotistical and all that kind of stuff, but it is quite scary.

Having said that, what I think we found, in doing the show, and in life, generally, is that the more you try to separate sex from everything else, it's impossible. You can't. The act of observation affects the actual experiment, and we see that in this.

The more you think that you are watching a show about sex, the more you ultimately are watching a show about the challenges of just connecting with human beings and being intimate.

It's funny the more technological advanced everything gets, the more like acting in your bedroom when you're a kid it is.

What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.

My taste in watching things runs from dramas and low-budget films to high-end fantasy/science fiction.
