As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens.
I'm drawn to dramas that make people think. I want to make an impact.
I'm great at telling stories with the kids. I do all my different accents. We make our own stories up all the time, the four of us, me and Hannah and the kids.
I like time ticking the way it is.
I always try and keep a jacket from everything I do. I've still got my original coat from 'Snatch' and my jacket from 'This Is England'.
I like how TV used to be - 'Boys from the Blackstuff' and 'Play for Today', instead of 'Stars in Your Eyes' and 'Celebrity Come Cook With Me' or whatever. I hate all that stuff.
I'm more of a shirt, jeans and trainers man, and I'll never stop that.
I'm just going to pick up where I left off. I'm trying to show the coaches what a good player I am.
That's probably going to be a good scenario, another good feeling. I played against him when I was in Houston and kind of took him out. I'm looking to take him out again.
I've become very close with Tom Hardy. I love Tom to bits.
I don't need to move to the States; I love our little village, Ibstock.
If I get the walk of a character, that helps me find them. So I'm constantly looking at airports and train stations, registering walks.
IBM has had a long partnership with Siebel, JD Edwards and Peoplesoft, so from a partner perspective, this is a good move by both sides. This agreement reflects the reality of what customers expect for their investment, support and openness. Oracle really needed to do this for Websphere, but it opens up tremendous opportunities for both companies.
I was going to become a youth worker because I do voluntary work with the kids in the little village where I live. I make little films with them and stuff when I'm not working. I thought, I'll pack it in then, and go and do something I love doing, and get a regular job because I've got two kids and a mortgage.
