  • I often talk with other actors about that time when you've just finished a job, because I think you do take on the characteristics of some of the characters you play. Sometimes it can be a great thing and sometimes it's a bit haunting because you're not quite sure how to leave it on set. My dad talks about it as being 'de-personalised.'

  • I only remember the end of my dreams, like waking up at a steering wheel, or falling.

  • I think if actors don't think of themselves as funny in real life they think they can't do comedy.

  • Sometimes success comes in ways you don't expect.

  • I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours, but he survived the whole war.
