I had a great time in my youth and I still feel youthful. I've no desire to look as though I'm in my 20s.

I'm a good businessman. I pay my bills. Growing up in a situation where everything counted helps.

My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.

A pilot is like the most extensive dress rehearsal you can ever imagine, because the writers are learning about the actors, the actors are learning about the characters.

I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.

I had to produce a complete page - or two or three - in one day. I took a lot of pride in my work, and I hated to do a mediocre job. Evidently, some of the writers enjoyed my work best of all for that very reason.

My career has been very difficult. People respect the fact that I haven't just turned professional like Amir Khan or Audley Harrison, and it's been, 'Here's a million pound' - for spoilt brats to fight a couple of fights.

As a new entrepreneur, you need a stake in the game, but you can't risk it all.
