To Be An Actor You Need Various Things. You Need To Have A Head For Choosing The Roles. You Have To Be, Hopefully, Easy To Work With So People Enjoy Working With You. You Have To Deal With Missing Roles, With Not Being Asked To Work, With Doing Good Work And Then Being Castigated By The Critics For It. You Have To Have A Skin That Can Deal With All Of That.

I've Always Thought Of Characters Like Advent Calendars. You Have Christmas And You Have All The Little Doors Over The Windows And Every Day You're Allowed To Open One More As It Gets Towards Christmas And You See More And More About What's Inside That House.i Remember As A Kid Being Fascinated By That And I've Always Thought Of My Character As A Little Bit Like That.

I Love It When People Say Hi When I Don't Know Them. I Mean, That's Fine, But Apart From That, I Like The Elements Of Celebrityhood Which Make Living In The World Like Living In Your Own Village.

I Certainly Play People On The Edge Quite A Lot. I Am Interested In What Makes People Odd And What Makes Them Different. In Life I Try To Play The Edges. I Have A Horror Of The Herd. There Are Many, Many Different Sorts Of People. A Lot Of People Are Fairly Uninteresting. I Want To Play The Interesting Ones. The Villains Are Always More Interesting To Portray. Shakespeare Knew That.
