There Have Not Been Any Troughs As

I'm Convinced That Had I Not Changed My Name, I Don't Think I Would Have Had Quite The Same Career Curve That I Eventually Had.

I Don't Do Anything That Would Ever Come Across As Advice Or Suggestion, But It's Just Part Of A Debate. Like, "i Would Like To Try This," Or "let Me Do Another One With More Stillness, Let Me Emphasize That." Rather Than "i Think You Should Emphasize This, I Think" - You Know, I Don't Impose Choices.

I Hope I'm Able To Achieve More On Camera Through Stillness, Through Focus, Through Being Quite Careful To Do Less On Every Take, Rather Than More. So I'm Reducing, Rather Than Adding. Which Hopefully Is A Good Exercise. That's What I'd Like To Do.

Hopefully, As I Get Older In The Business, I Make My Choices More Accurately, And I Perhaps Know From Either The Script Or The First Meeting That It Isn't Going To Work.

Fifteen Years Before I Became A Screen Actor, I Was In The Theatre. A Lot Of My Work Was Comedy, Which I Loved Doing. It's Harder.
