My parents are very lovely people - the sort of people that one should aspire to be like, really.

The danger with playing a part that defines you is that it swallows up everything else.

Actors, who have no real sense of who they are or what they want, have long known that not just their gender but every aspect of their identity is on a spectrum. They can be anything they are asked to be. They aspire to a protean state, shape-shifting like high summer clouds.

When we get christened or married or die, we drift naturally in the direction of the church. And in moments of crisis, when our spiritual Tom-Tom is no longer telling us what to do, we find ourselves scrabbling at the vicarage door.

My father was ethnically Jewish, but his family converted to Catholicism.

They haven't said it, but let's be clear: I would never have been on the list for James Bond, so I'm not labouring under that misapprehension.

I prefer to be flippant about acting, just in case I'm rubbish.

Funnily enough, I never thought of myself as being short. Being an actor has made me much more conscious of it than I would have been otherwise.

People behave differently to TV stars and film stars; it's to do with the scale of the medium. Film stars get hushed awe, TV stars get slapped on the back. Neither is good for you. Famous people don't hear the word 'no' enough.
