rocket science
I've never thought of acting as rocket science - you put on the costume, get your hair cut, and that's it, really.
envied found girls men
I've always envied girls having Ugg boots, so when I found some for men, I had to have them.
fit good tend tortured
I think I'm good at looking moody. I'm not much good at analysing myself, but I tend to fit the strange and tortured characters.
needs
I don't regret things, because I learn from mistakes. If needs be, I always make amends.
age half looked middle reckon trick
I can feel middle age approaching, but I reckon the trick is to ignore all the signs. I'm lucky in that I've always looked half the age I am. So the way I see it is that I'm still in my twenties!
compelling love sir sneak watch work
I'd love to work with Sir Anthony Hopkins, but if that doesn't happen, I'd sneak on to a film set and watch him at work. He is a compelling actor.
decided interested time tried
My teachers probably tried to get me interested in other things at school, but I was very young when I decided that I wanted to act. By the time I was 12, I was hell-bent on it.
job learned life skin thick
Life as an actor has toughened me up, and I've learned that you shouldn't take things too personally. Someone once said that to do this job you need talent, luck and a thick skin - which is so true.
It's a long struggle being an actor; I don't know if I'd ever recommend it to anybody!
spent until
Apparently, if you live until 75, you'll have spent 25 years in bed, so it makes sense to have a decent mattress.
I would tell anyone who wanted to be an actor not to bother with drama school.
becoming diploma education further left performing process start
I went to Northampton College of Further Education. I left there - when I was 16, I left Kingsthorpe Upper - and I went and did a diploma in performing arts, so it was my start in the training process to becoming an actor.
freedom full hours
I don't like planning, because it robs me of freedom, so I'd like a 24 hours that was full of surprises.
acting home lines method turn
I'm not into that method acting thing. I just turn up, say my lines and go home.
