I used to be a rabid reader, but now it's scripts or nothing - network television is quite relentless, and you can't drop the ball.
From Robert Carlyle
I'd love to do a Columbo-type detective character in a series.
Each performance and each film is what it is. It's right and belongs within that moment. You look at it and try to make it fit your particular part of your character and your particular film.
I think I have a natural, if I can say that, got a kind of natural ability in comedy.
Of course, I love chats with various actors about the process and how they do it. To me, if it's not on the camera, if it's not there, it's not worth it. It really just isn't worth it.
I'd work with Danny Boyle every day of the week. No matter what he was doing I would do that.
I was 16 when I was in a band, for about 10 minutes. I went off and did acting after that. So it was a wee moment for me when I sang.
When I look back at it now, my past and the way I grew up, I grew up on communes.
I've really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.
The U.K. and the U.S. are very different countries, and it really shows in the television.
