If You Can't Fail, You Can Never

I've Been Very Lucky At What's Happened In My Career To Date, But Playing Something As Far From Me As Possible Is An Ambition Of Mine - Anything From A Mutated Baddy In A Comic Book Action Thriller, To A Detective. If Anything, I'd Like Gary Oldman's Career: He's The Perfect Example Of It. I've Love To Have A Really Broad Sweep Of Characters - To Be Able To Do Something Edgy, Surprising And Unfashionable.

There Are Moments When, Like All Of Us, You Get A Bit Self-conscious And You'd Rather Not Be Living Any Of Your Day In Public. Those Are The Awkward Times, But You've Got To Have Fun With It.

Animations Are Really Powerful - It's Not Just Entertainment, It's A Very Cunning Way To Get Good Ideas Across.

I Think I've Had Very Knee-jerk Emotional Reactions To Things, And Sometimes I've Said Things Without Thinking. Being Overly Emotional Clouded My Judgment.

I'm Always Keen To Use My Body In My Work, So I'm Looking Forward To The Motion Capture For Smaug. Both Gollum And King Kong Were Primates, Whereas I'm Playing A Serpent, So It'll Be Interesting - I'll Have To Tie My Legs Together, Possibly, Or Else They'll Be Kind Of Splayed Out To The Side As A Reptile's Should Be.
