Not That I Had A Big Arse

I'm Aware Of The Power Of Looks. I've Wanted To Play Roles That Have Gone To Much Better-looking People And You Just Think 'oh Well, That's The Pin Up Guy's An Actor Like My Friend James Mcavoy, Who's Gorgeous On Screen. I'm Not That. But At Least I Don't Have To Worry About Taking Precious Care Of My Face Because It's My Commodity. That's A Great Freedom. I'm Not Afraid Of Being Heinous For The Sake Of A Part

I Just Want To Bring People In A Little Bit To The Idea Of Sitting Down On A Sunday Three Consecutive Weeks And Having That Water Cooler Moment That Really Was A Sort Of A National Sensation In The U.k., 'cause It's Kind Of Fun.

It's Difficult Because Nothing's Preordained By Plan And You Can't Control It. That's One Of Those Joys And Thrills And Nerve-racking Realities Of Being An Actor. A Lot Has To Do With Luck, No Matter What Your Talent Or Contribution Can Be.

I Think What I Loved In Cinema - And What I Mean By Cinema Is Not Just Films, But Proper, Classical Cinema - Are The Extraordinary Moments That Can Occur On Screen. At The Same Time, I Do Feel That Cinema And Theater Feed Each Other. I Feel Like You Can Do Close-up On Stage And You Can Do Something Very Bold And Highly Characterized - And, Dare I Say, Theatrical - On Camera. I Think The Cameras And The Viewpoints Shift Depending On The Intensity And Integrity Of Your Intention And Focus On That.

I'm Not An Overnight Success. I've Been Doing It For 12 Years. It's Been Lovely And Varied So Far.
