Stories about vicars are always being told because they're at the heart of our society. Vicars touch all parts of the community and see life in all its extremity.

I was one of the first actors in London to be seen for Frodo ten years ago. I didn't get it, obviously. The right size, but too handsome, apparently.

Actresses are just professionally lovely, aren't they?

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
