It's easy to not feel misplaced if this tidal wave of appreciation is coming your way.

I've done so many jobs because I've had to, not because I've wanted to. And it's honourable to do a job because you need to feed your children, and maybe there is also something in it for your development as an actor. But only up to a point.

The actor is there to translate what's on the page onto the stage or the screen. So I find it important that an actor manages to actually get out of the way, vanish as a person behind the character, never to be seen or talked about again. That's my philosophy.

My agent is the quickest, sharpest man on earth.

We're always aware of our family being creative, but it wasn't like, 'My uncle is an amazing actor; I want to be like that.'

When I was growing up, my parents took in foster children. From a young age, I learned that there are a lot of children in need.

Growing up, we were a poor yet tightknit family. My mother worked multiple jobs and always made sure that her kids never had to want for anything.

As a child, I was spoilt by my parents as an only son. They indulged my every whim, and I grew up in luxury.
