My Father Was An Exceptionally Strong Influence

Much Of What You Do As An Actor - It's Who's Around You, What's The Environment, Where Do You Fit Into This Thing. That's Really Work That's Impossible To Do On Your Own, At Least For Me. I Find It Hard To Pre-plan Every Element Of Everything I Do. It's Not My Thing.

I Think Probably When I Was Little, After My Brother Turned On Me, I Just Had To Play By Myself Or With Myself. I've Always Done That. I Think Either It's Some Kind Of Weirdly Competitive Streak Or It Takes My Mind Off Whatever's Bothering Me.

It's Not A Field, I Think, For People Who Need To Have Success Every Day: If You Can't Live With A Nightly Sort Of Disaster, You Should Get Out. I Wouldn't Describe Myself As Lacking In Confidence, But I Would Just Say That The Ghosts You Chase You Never Catch.

I Don't Want To Be Boring. But That's Not Always Easy.

I Think With Actors, If You Just Don't Set About Trying To Crush Their Confidence Immediately, You're Usually Ok.
