Quotes

I think fidelity is absolutely important, especially in the acting,industry, which is littered with broken relationships because people,are away filming for months.

Everyone knows "Smash" (2012) is about musical numbers, and,everyone knows we have fantastic dance sequences and great,performances.

"Homeland" (2011) is not a sensationalist show.

I miss London on nights in June or in October.

I am in the habit, like most British people, of holding the door open,for people. But in the U. S.

No one was very surprised when I decided to become an actor.

There are so few shows that are willing to take risks with their,characters in the way that "Homeland" (2011) does. And yet, the,audience still comes back and loves those characters.

which is odd when there,are so many brilliant actors there.

Work aside, I think would have ended up in the U. S. because I like being,here a lot. I really do.
