Even though I have Twitter, I only use it to say, 'Oh, this is coming out.' I would never voice anything about me, really.

I never expected that I'd be doing as many jobs as I did. I know everybody says that, but I thought I'd be sat in my pants waiting for someone to ring me. Then maybe within five years I might get something.

I just like doing my job.

I'm from a salt-of-the-earth, working-class, northern background. My dad's a steelworker and a firefighter, and my mum is a secretary for the NHS.

I've played in a lot of different roles through the course of my career and I've been a starter for a lot of those years and the mentality can never change.

I will never say never, but I can tell you right now - I am perfectly happy with being who I am. I just - I really - I'm an entertainer, and the thing that I'd decided to work on was my career, and I decided the energy that I was putting in certain relationships - I was really kind of wasting my time, and I knew it.

Brock Lesnar made a career out of refusing to do media and not being accessible.

If you have the opportunity as an actor to control your career in any way, then you've won the jackpot.
