"Being a mod is more of a sensibility than a style."
"Your job, as an actor, is never to just do what you're told. That's boring, and life is too short. It's your job to bring something, and it will either be to other people's taste or your own taste, and you have to try things out. Actors say, "Well, as long as the director's happy," but I don't believe that and I don't agree with that. I want the director to be happy, but if I'm not happy, I won't sleep at night."

"Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it."
"I'm not posh or common, I'm in between."
"I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists."
"I've got a stag weekend coming up and I've said I'm not doing anything more than a few drinks. I won't have it. I'll go home and watch Antiques Roadshow."
