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

I am a private person; I think that's important if you're an actor. But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person.

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'm not a big guy for research. You've got to take a risk.

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

If one story becomes too hot, then you can't forget it. As an actor, you want to remain fluid.

I like clothes.

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

Never, ever wear three-quarter length trousers. Even in the summer.

It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.

The goal is always just trying to stretch yourself as an actor.
