I don't plan. I don't think, 'I have to do this kind of part 'cause I've done that kind of part.' I'm not a very good planner.
From Rupert Graves
The urge to act became the overriding force in my life. It thrilled me. There's a moment with acting when you're in the groove, and you and what you're trying to do are seamlessly one. That happens sometimes, and I'm really happy it can happen to me.
It's just very dull. Talking about yourself and about something that you've got less interest in than you had, because you've always moved on to something else.
I drifted into acting, and I've drifted into my career, and I've never been guided by anything particularly concrete.
I'm crap at interviews. I'm just not very good at sentences.
I kind of always wanted to act, but to get a grant I would have needed two A-levels, and I was too far away from even O levels. I didn't know you could get a scholarship, so I determined early not to pursue that.
The amount of work you need to do to become a very successful celebrity is something I'm not prepared to do.
I just think the older I get, actually, the better I feel.
