I'm A Quite Serious Actor Who Doesn't

I Am Hellbent On Defying Your Expectations, At Every Turn, And Even If You Don't Like What's Being Done, I Dare You To Find It Uninteresting.

When I Am Asked About Influences, I Always Say I Bow Down To Fred Astaire, Because When You Look At Him Dancing You Never Look At His Extremities, Do You? You Look At His Centre. What You Never See Is The Hours Of Work That Went Into The Routines, You Just See The Breathtaking Spirit And Freedom.

On The Screen Were Some Flashback Shots Of Daniel, Emma And Rupert From Ten Years Ago. They Were 12. I Have Also Recently Returned From New York, And While I Was There, I Saw Daniel Singing And Dancing (brilliantly) On Broadway. A Lifetime Seems To Have Passed In Minutes.

I Love Perfumes. Every Morning When My Girlfriend And I Come Down To The Courtyard In Our Block Of Flats We're Assailed By The Most Delicious Scent - Jasmine Round A Doorway. It Almost Makes Me Swoon.
