I’m as happy doing ‘Postman Pat’ as I am doing ‘Hamlet.’
I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there’s something very appealing and rather heroic in that.
I love a bit of political drama; ‘The West Wing’ is probably my favourite television series of all time.
When you’re older, you want to be scared because you understand more where the boundaries between fantasy and reality are, and I suppose they are more blurred the younger you are.
