Andrew Lincoln

I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.

I'm like a magpie. I use lots of different things to build a character.

I think my wife has always been aware, whatever country we have been in, of my dramatic leading man status; a little too dramatic she would probably say.

We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment. How many people can boast as much?

The thing about Paris, it's a great city for wandering around and buying shoes and nursing a cafe au lait for hours on end and pretending you're Baudelaire. But it's not a city where you can work.
