I'm Not Very Geeky. I'm Quite Homespun.

My Massive Motivation In Life Is To Make Parents Proud. But Even That Has To Stop At A Point.

There Are Very Specific Demands, Though, In Television, And You Notice The Budget Constrictions. It's The Time Constraint And A Purse Constraint More Than Anything Else That You Notice. But The Ambition Of The Writing And, Hopefully, The Delivery Of It Gets Better And Better Because We Want To Outdo Ourselves To Keep Ahead Of A Very Expectant And Hungry Public.

It's The Same Thing, I Think, Whether It's Breathing Or Meditation Or Yoga. And Running Is A Great Way Of Doing It.

The Number Of People My Age, Younger Now, A Whole Generation Younger, Who Are Fiercely Bright, Over-educated, Under-employed And Who Are Politicised And Purposeless Really Upsets Me. It's Soul-destroying.

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
