I'm endlessly putting myself on tapes for things over in America! I'm always sitting at home, learning lines, sending stuff to America. ”

I'd rather do my own performance than copy someone else's. ”

My dad bought me a guitar when I was very young, and I never looked back. ”

Broadchurch' is very different, but it's equally as good as 'The Killing' - if not better. ”

When I was young, my mum was part of a brilliant puppet theatre that toured all over the world. ”

I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor. ”

I use music as therapy. Whenever I'm feeling angry or needing some 'me' time, which is quite regularly, I'll go and bang a piano or flesh out something on a guitar. ”

I did 'Little Dorrit' a few years ago; I really love doing period dramas. It's stuff like that I really enjoy watching. ”

I think 'Breaking Bad' is brilliant. Good drama in the U.S. is also so funny and blurs the line between light and dark. ”

Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I'm a man of simple pleasures, really. ”
