Quotes

  • I love it when people recognise me. Actors who say they don't like it are lying. I don't get any raunchy fan mail, but I do get lots of nice letters from middle-aged men who still live with their mums!
  • [on the speed of making unscripted drama Suspects (2014)] It felt like Vietnam. But the pay-off is, at that speed you're not over-thinking it, and when someone does say something that incriminates themselves, you're reacting for real. It's not a scripted, "Oh, I see," but "Oh! Really?" because you're hearing it for the first time.
