A Good Comedy’s Very Hard To Make,

I Do Probably 80 Or 90 Per Cent Of The Cooking At Home.

Normally When I'm Sent A Script I'll Read It Through To See How It Hangs As A Story And Then I'll Go Back And Read It Through Again And Look At The Character.

If You're Playing A Historical Character That's In The Public Consciousness, Then Obviously You've Got To Make An Effort To Look Like That Person And There's A Huge Amount Of Historical Record There That You Have To Kind Of Comply To.

I Usually Read A Script From An Audience Perspective First, And Then Look More Closely At The Character Only.

My Old Manager Of The Irish National Theatre Said 'don't Worry About Being A Star, Just Worry About Being A Working Actor. Just Keep Working.' I Think That's Really Good Advice.
