“I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation.”

“I just have this fear that I'll get on stage and there'll be that brief moment of adrenalin and I'll forget my line.”

“The thought of dancing scared me. A lot. Because I have absolutely no aptitude for it.”

“If I was left to my own devices, you would see about ten T-shirts in rotation with maybe a few nice pairs of jeans - but I also like to look good. I like feeling really well put together, I...”

“Shyness displays itself differently in me. I think it's more an awkwardness.”

“Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.”

“I think it would be very hard to go out with an actress, because they're mad. Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But...”
