I Always Kept Myself Fairly Fit.

The Sum Total Of All My Stop-starts Have Made Me Less Concerned About The Future. I'm Just Aware Now That I'll Always Land On My Feet Somehow.

The Tricky Thing Becomes: Do You Know Yourself Well Enough To Then Portray That On Screen? And For Me, I Find That Really Hard. I'd Rather Hide Behind Accents And Funny Walks.

To Act With A Tennis Ball And Imagine It's A Tentacle, Or If You're In Some Kind Of Wilderness Film And You Go, 'okay, We Can't Have A Grizzly Bear Here, But Imagine When You Step Over The Rock There There's A Grizzly Bear.' I Don't Know. They're Tough Moments.

What I Like Is Having A Conversation That Gets You On The Right Page. And, If That Means Having Conversations In Lieu Of Rehearsal - I Don't Wanna Get Up And Cook The Thing Before We Shoot It But I Do Wanna Know That Me And The Director Know Exactly What We Both Want To Achieve, And That We're Moving In The Same Direction.

One Of The Things I've Always Enjoyed Is Moving Around And Staying Fit. Physicality Is Such A Big Part Of Being An Actor, But It's Also About Stillness And Silence.
