Don't Die With A Bottle Of Champagne

It's Good To Remind Yourself That You're Lucky To Be Working At All. It's Very Easy To Get Into The Mindset Of Ingratitude And I Battle With It All The Time.

My Career Has Suddenly Started To Be The One That I'd Always Wanted, Not In Terms Of Level Of Success, But In Terms Of - And This Is What I've Been Banging On About - Playing Different Parts In Different Media. I Was Very Frustrated, In A Physical Sense, By People Seeing Me In A Way That I Wasn't. And I Was Beginning To Find Myself Boxed Into A Corner. Hopefully Things Have Loosed Up A Bit, And I've Gotten Better And Become More Relaxed As An Actor.

I Wasnt A Model Schoolboy. Of Course, I Was Forced To Sit Through Shakespeare And I Really Got Into Some Of It, Though It Depended On Who Was Reading It Out.

The Reason I Live In America Is Because I Mean Literally Every Six Or Seven Years I've Done Something In England. The Last Lead I Had In An English Film I Did Was 1998. So That's Why I Live Here. It's Because I Get More Work. I'll Travel Back For Radio, You Know What I Mean. I've Just Got To Consider Myself To Be Living In The Middle Of The Ocean, And That Way I Have A Really Nice Career, If I'm Prepared To Do Television, Radio, Theater, And Film.

My Favourite Things Are Just Wandering From Place To Place, Going To Cafés, Taking Photographs. My Favourite Day Is A Happy Accident.
