At all times it is better to have a method.

I'm a method actor.

People talk about method actors, meaning someone that's prepared very, very well, or whatever they mean when they talk about it. But the right method is whatever works for you. And what works for me on any given day is going to be different.

I don't want to get pretentious, but there's an art to doing sitcoms; you have to make it work in that format.

I don't know if I'm a method actor.

I'm not a method actor, but I'm a big research kind of actor.

I had done the sitcom thing to lesser and lesser degrees of success.

My approach to 'Eastenders' is the same as my approach to film and the same approach to theatre. Whatever I do, I use the same skills and tools.

There are two schools of thought: There are those actors who explain to you that they know exactly how they're going to do the part... And then there is the other method, which is to have no method at all. This is mine.
