- (On why he is an actor): I've learnt something new everyday. When you get to the point that you're not learning, you need to stop. I think and either take a break, or give up and become a plumber or something because it's important to remain motivated and driven.
- [on his reaction to his character Owen in Torchwood] I've always wanted to be the Weevil King!
- I'm afraid the Doctor Who (2005) door is probably closed because of me being in Torchwood (2006).
- I always look up to people like Michael Gambon and Tommy Lee Jones, and I hope that as I mature I will become as craggy as them.
- I think of myself as a character actor, compared to a straight actor. I know a character actor in England is pretty much the same as in the States; you're actually hired to put on terrible teeth and stuff like that.
