I'd Totally Be Attracted To A Geek

A Lot Of The Characters I Play Have Problems, They Are Marginalised, They Have Serious Psychological Problems, Problems With Relationships, With Childhood. These Are Big Subjects, Big Subjects. You Can't Balk At Work Like That. As An Actor, That's As Good As It Gets.

I Used To Be A Rabid Reader, But Now It's Scripts Or Nothing - Network Television Is Quite Relentless, And You Can't Drop The Ball.

I Played A Maniac Fan Who Murders A Policeman And She Did My Makeup. I Thought Anyone Interested In Me Looking Like That Must Have Genuinely Liked Me.

A Lot Of My Work Is With Children And There's A Reason For That, Because They Really Level You.

I Often Have Scripts Sent To Me With Allegedly Scottish Characters Where I End Up Telling Them, 'you're Going To Have To Rethink This Whole Thing!
