I'm good at being on my own. As a kid, I was always in my room alone, so I have a high threshold for it. If I'm bored, I'll read. Hanging around doesn't go well with me. John Simm boregoodhang Change image and share on social
I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place, I think, in the country that I could live. John Simm backcountryhave share on social
There's something really interesting about having those close friends that you've had incredible times with but growing up and away from them.

When I got to 40, I was happy. Now I can wear what I like, listen to what I like, don't have to try and be cool. I'm someone's dad and it doesn't matter any more. That's an enormous freedom. John Simm cooldadenormous Change image and share on social
I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though... Maybe my wife would disagree. John Simm angryclosecold Change image and share on social
I'm not a people person. I'm not sociable. I have been and I can be, but not as a general rule. John Simm generalpeopleperson Change image and share on social

You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it. John Simm liemadnesspeople Change image and share on social
