Mad Men' is a hard act to follow. Unless you're called Elisabeth Moss, stuff like this only comes along once in your career.

We all have our moments where we fail to live up to a challenge.

If you're involved in filmmaking, you want to challenge yourself.

I like challenges.

I miss 'Mad Men,' but I can't complain because I got a lot of public awareness from it, and it led on to film offers such as 'Sherlock.'

I wasn't aware of my dad being an actor when I was young. I remember there was an Australian children's entertainer on television called Ralph Harris and when I'd say my father was an actor, kids would say, you know, 'oh, is he Ralph Harris?' And I had to say no and then they would lose interest.

The person you're playing must have feelings, but if he's not able to show them, then just the subtlest rumblings and nuances can say an incredible amount.

Here in England, my becoming an actor was considered unimaginative.

Matt Weiner is an amazing writer. He's one of the best, greatest writers that's ever written for television - or just written.

Dad was never a Mr. Mum-type of person who'd stay at home. It was a big thing when he was home - he was a circus.

Very few movies I've done I regret being involved in.

You can't love someone unless they love you back.
