Nobody's going to say hello to me in the street, really, because there'll be someone a bit more famous coming along the street in a minute. That typifies London, really.

For me, acting is a series of impressions rather than trying to find one line through to the end, which risks becoming more of a presentation.

Producers and directors think they have the power, but what they think of as the weakest link, the actor, is all-powerful.

In every area, we seem to have thrown everything away and embraced reality television. It's nauseating, programme after programme.
