But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person.
Really I just want to get on with my job, which is to pretend to be lots of different people. Simple as that.
One of my favourite parts of acting is the clothes that you get to wear, because it's very important.
Audiences like to be challenged and to be actively involved and try to guess an outcome.
If one story becomes too hot, then you can't forget it. As an actor, you want to remain fluid.
I find any sort of acting that doesn't have any humor in it is mind-numbingly boring. 'Serious acting' is the kind of acting that I don't ever respond to.
It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.
It sounds maybe a little old fashioned, but the parts I want to play and I do play, you don't want to inject too much of your own personality. What you sacrifice then is a slight mystery.
I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free – on the fringe – as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me – actors should be paid well.
I do sometimes play characters that are a bit ambiguous. You've got to be brave about that sort of stuff. I like the sense of people not feeling too secure, not immediately knowing what they have in front of them.
