If I weren't an actor, I'd either be a teacher or a critic.

If I hadn't been an actor, I probably would have been a social worker.

Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.

One of the great things about my job is I get to do all of these things that I may not experience had I not been an actor.

I was at college studying psychology, philosophy, textiles and drama. But because I wasn't one of those all-singing, all-dancing stage-school kids, I just assumed I'd never become an actor.

I studied movies for many years, but I am professionally an actor because I, my background is actually a stage actor and acting.

I guess if I weren't an actor, I'd be a history professor.

Before I got into acting, I was always interested in psychology, which I think is very common with a lot of actors because in a weird way, psychology and acting kind of seem interwoven.
