Life's too short.

I like clothes.

I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free - on the fringe - as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me - actors should be paid well.

I find any sort of acting that doesn't have any humor in it is mind-numbingly boring.

I find any sort of acting that doesn’t have any humor in it is mind-numbingly boring. ‘Serious acting’ is the kind of acting that I don’t ever respond to.

I’ve played all these extreme guys, but playing an everyman type has its own challenges.

One of my favourite parts of acting is the clothes that you get to wear, because it’s very important.

I want to keep everything balanced. That’s why it’s important not to have too much fanfare.

I do sometimes play characters that are a bit ambiguous. You’ve got to be brave about that sort of stuff. I like the sense of people not feeling too secure, not immediately knowing what they have in front of them.

It’s a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.
