Actor

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.'

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

Moving outside of your comfort zone is one thing I learned from my training as an actor in England.

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

If you don't look like Rupert Graves or Hugh Grant, they'll have you playing the gardener.

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

It used to be that you could do these nuggets of a movie and it would attach itself in terms of credibility to your work and the style of work that you did, that people would be interested and curious about you and your work as an actor.

I keep mementos from everything I've done. I've got my cab driver's license from 'Happiness.' I've got a pair of glasses and a belt buckle from playing John Lennon. I've got a pair of sunglasses from playing Andy Warhol... It's all in a box in the garage.

I've auditioned for normal characters. But I never get cast.

When you're acting and you need to cry, you want to put yourself in a position where you're trying not to cry, because that is generally what people try and do. They try to hold on to their emotions, they don't want to lose them.

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

Most of what I knew of George VI was from watching 'The King's Speech!'

I used to do lots of independent films and for a while I was very content living in New York City and doing independent movies and off-Broadway theater. I loved it, I had a really good time doing that, and I worked on a lot of projects that are very dear to my heart, both plays and films.

When you're playing someone who drinks a lot, it's not that interesting to play that condition because as soon as you know that, you got all the information you're going to get from it. It's like hitting the same note on the piano over and over again.

I was 17, and all I wanted to do was to get away from England and the awful, boring boarding schools I'd been going to there. The last one was taught by monks, and I couldn't wait to get out.

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