I Generally Do Things I'm Proud To

I Admire David Hare As Much As I Admire Certainly Any Writer Ever. What I Like About His Writing Is It Is Very Conscientiously, In One Way, An Attempt To Reproduce The Way People Actually Speak, But It's Not Just An Attempt At Naturalism. It's Stylised And It's Heightened, To Great Effect. It's Elegant And It's Funny And That's The Way To My Heart, Frankly.

I Never Go On The Net Or The Web, Or Whatever It's Called.

With Stage, You Feel Completely Like You're Just In A Bubble. I Love Not Being Able To See Anything. I Love Coming Out And I Can't See Anything Because The Lights Are So Bright And It's Pitch Black. That's Ideal For Me, That's When I Have The Best Time.

Often In America People Would Assume That [as An English Actor] You've Had Some Sort Of Deep, Classical Training, Or That You're A Shakespeare Enthusiast. I Have Zero Interest In Me Performing Shakespeare.

It Can't Be Overstated How Wonderful It Is Not To Have To Audition Any More. Any Actor Will Tell You, It's Like Christmas.
