I've Always Had A 'work Hard, Play

I Was, If You Like, A Successful Schoolboy In That I Had A Degree Of Talent In All The Required Things That Make You A Success At School.

For Me The Rehearsal Period Is The Part I Most Enjoy. It's The Creating Of The Story.

It Was Pretty Daunting. Normally, I Never Go To A Gym, But Before We Started Shooting, I Thought I'd Better. I Reckoned I Was In Really Good Shape, And Then I Looked Around And I Was Half The Size Of Everyone Else. A Lot Of These American Actors Have This - In My View - Misplaced View That They Have To Look Like Action Man. The Trouble Is, They All Run The Risk Of Being Interchangeable.

Acting Can Be A Narrow And Isolated Experience, Because You Only Examine Your Particular Part.

People Need Revelation, And Then They Need Resolution.
