I had a bit of a male menopause. It started at the age of 18 and continued until I was 45.

I don't think that acting is ...

I don't think that acting is as youth-obsessed as the general culture. In acting, as you get older, you get better, and the parts you get improve, too. But that's only true for a man, not a woman.

My second marriage was to a girl I met in Manchester, kept a long-distance relationship going for two years, then we got married... disaster.

My dad was a football player - a soccer player - for Manchester United, and I loved playing football, but I also happened to be the guy in class who was pretty good at sight reading. My teacher gave me scripts, and I was very comfortable.

What you do is, you just do the gig, enjoy, get on with it, and treat the rest as horse doodle.

When you're in your early 20s, you go ahead and do everything. And it's very hard to judge yourself.

When you're doing a medieval ...

When you're doing a medieval show like 'Pillars,' it starts off a bit like a school play. You're all in funny costumes; you've had your coffee, and you say, 'Good morning'. Then you go on set and, if you've got good actors and directors, it takes on a life of its own.

I don't believe in the death penalty, but I understand personal vengeance.

I'm from the disco era where everybody thought they were John Travolta... What song is going to get me on the dance floor? Anything from 'Saturday Night Fever,' and you're up there like a demon.

I never wanted a life of having a nice house, driving around, settling down.

I think the reason 'Sexy Beast' was so good was it wasn't just another run-of-the-mill gangster film; it was a love story.

Theater is a dance of a different kind, a dance of rawness and characters stripped down.

What 'Deadwood' did was to talk about how capitalism started, how civilised society came in, and how that brought its own problems.

When you've done a show that'...

When you've done a show that's as successful as 'Lovejoy' was, it hangs around for a few years, and people know you from it. I escaped the shadow when I stopped 'Lovejoy' by not doing any television for four years.

If 'Deadwood' had gone on another two years, I wouldn't have got as many movies made.

I had a teacher at school who said, 'We are going to do a play next year, and you're in it.' He said, 'You should try out for the Royal Academy as an actor.' I did and got in. I was 17. My mum wasn't too happy, but it worked out OK.

Do you follow American politics? They hate Obama. Hate him. He's a black man. That's what it is: it's racist. This guy is no bleeding-heart liberal. He's a centrist.

If I'd had the choice when I was 14, and someone had said to me, 'You can either be a footballer or an actor,' I'd have said: 'Well, can't I be a footballing actor?'
