I work to live, not live to work, so my head's at home, not in some showbiz life.
I wouldn't rule out L.A. life, but I love England. I have a lovely house and nice garden, I walk my kids to school - family is most important to me.
Life is not a chain of events but an area-something spreading out from a hidden centre and welling at once toward all points of the compass.
We tell ourselves zombie stories to remind us we shouldn't live beyond the natural boundaries of life - or seek a third stage of life in this world.
We watch a romantic comedy because we want to cry, say, or an action movie so we can participate in heroics. Horror's different. It can hit you with a moment of revulsion so hard you might want to erase the last five minutes of your life, please.
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 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'm excited to get another chance and hope to help my new team.
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.
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've become very close with Tom Hardy. I love Tom to bits.
Mum and Dad always wanted me to do whatever I was happy doing. I nearly went to art college at 16, but decided to do a BTEC in performing arts.
