I don't think it's the case that 'posh actors' get more work than others.

Being a posh actor in England you cannot escape the class-typing from whatever side you look at it.

I think you can't be really posh and be an interesting actor. I'm a bit of a posh rough.

There are lots of actors who are posh and stick with that, and there are lots of actors who are cockney, and that's what they do. That's fine, but I don't think that could be said about me.

The job of an actor is the same in all of them, really. I mean, you're just creating a character that you hope people will believe, so it doesn't make that much of a difference really.

Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.

So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?

Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.

Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.

As an actor, there is always an opportunity to learn from the other actors you work with.
