I Hate The Word Celebrity.

There Are People Who Are Younger Than I Who Are More Uptight Than I Am. It's Not Necessarily An Age Thing. I Mean Nobody Is Offering Me 20-year Old Leads Any More.

The Other Two Things Are... Well, I Had A Huge Appetite For Old Black And White Movies On Bbc 2. At The Weekends They Used To Run Matinees, And The More Romantic The Better.

In Far Eastern Russia, There's Just Some Towns That Time Has Forgotten. I Guess They Used To Maybe Be Industrial Or Something That Are Now There's Just Lots Of Rusty Hulks Of Buildings And A Lot Of People Wandering Around, A Lot Of Alcoholism And Violence Because People Have Got Nothing To Do And No Work. Yet People Were Very Generous.

I Love Exploring In A Rehearsal Room With Other Actors, Scenes And You Know, Stuff You Are Scared Of.

If I Want To Do The Kind Of Work That I Like To Act In, I Need To Open My Mind To It.
