Every actor is alive because of his/her fans. I’m glad that my fans love me so much. I have an immense responsibility towards them. That’s why I’m careful while signing a film. What is also important is to judge whether I would like to watch the film as an audience or not.

I’m always drawn towards the darker stuff, because I think it’s just a lot more interesting. But it’s also good fun doing the comedy, and I think that’s why ‘Misfits’ has been great in that way, as you get a really good balance. I think it’s best to try and do everything as an actor, really.
