You look at any war zone and you talk to any soldiers and they have to blank out - in order for that to work for them, in order for them to survive they have to blank out something in themselves in order to do it.
art thinking genius
I'm a massive fan of Brit Art in general and Damien Hirst in particular. I think he's an absolute genius and should be celebrated in every way.
party men thinking
I couldn't think of anything worse than going to a fancy dress party. So, if somebody invited me to one, I'd go as the Invisible Man and not turn up.
challenges acting telling-stories
I love telling stories. I like the challenges presented to me on a daily basis. There's nothing resting about acting.

I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.

Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.

I'm no good at down-time. I panic slightly and then plan a project or set up a meeting about starting a project.

I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.

It's always good to find out what you don't want to do.

Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticised anyone for taking a chance.

Liverpool will always be my home.

My house is very clean apart from a very small part of it that looks as if we've been burgled, which is my office.
