It’s a challenge, writing about actors, especially a good actor, because you can’t always tell when they’re being honest and when they’re pretending - that is, when they’re acting. The really good ones don’t always seem to know themselves Picture Quote #1

I think people involved in politics make good actors. Acting and politics both involve fooling people. People like being fooled by actors.

I look for something that can challenge me or makes me ever so slightly afraid - fearful of how I am going to approach it - then I’ll go for it. If the project appears linear or predictable, then I’ll usually give it a miss. Anything that involves me being stretched as an actor, I go for Picture Quote #1

As an actor, I’ve grown considerably. For example, it’s taken me years to get comfortable doing a romantic scene and dancing on stage in front of a live audience. I do it a lot better than I ever did. I’ve really opened up a lot. And I’m glad I have because I’m being appreciated for it Picture Quote #1

Mike Leigh taught me about making choices - as an actor, you choose between being honest and clever, and with Mike, it’s always about being honest. I learned how to behave on a film set from Jim Broadbent. He was a great example of someone with a fantastic career who kept his feet on the ground Picture Quote #1

I want to be an example of a guy who made something of himself out of nothing. A guy who overcame the odds of a tough childhood, who worked hard, who didn’t let his surroundings get the best of him and lead him to jail or the graveyard. Where I ended up - being a comedian, a TV star, and a movie actor - might be unique, but my story is not Picture Quote #1
