I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.

Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.

I love telling stories. I like the challenges presented to me on a daily basis. There's nothing resting about acting.

Nothing is my guiltiest pleasure. I love it. I love doing it. I love planning to do it, I love loafing and pottering and chilling and daydreaming.

All my good friends are actors, really. It's different when you have a family, but they're still the people I meet most often. My best friend is Ian Hart, but then I've known him since I was five.

When I came to London as a young man, I was very excited by it and that's never gone away.

I'm a massive fan of Brit Art in general and Damien Hirst in particular. I think he's an absolute genius and should be celebrated in every way.

'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.

The reason I wanted to start directing is that as an actor I felt I came into a job late. There's a whole team of people who have been working on it for months before you start. You have this really intense period of filming and then you leave it, knowing that the director will work on it for another few months.

The great thing about coming from where I come from - Liverpool and my family - is that we're very close. I have a great relationship with my siblings and their kids.

I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.

The biggest difference between British TV and American TV is money. But what money doesn't do on American TV, which I thought it would, is buy you time. You don't get more time. You get more toys.

In all honesty, we all want our fantasy selves to be the best people. We all think in a time of crisis, we will react heroically and with humanity.
