They’re naughty, all those writers – they mess around with people. I know James Gandolfini got a bit fed up on ‘The Sopranos’: if he said anything in front of a writer, told them a story from his life, it could make its way into the script.

It’s that TV thing. You can be in the biggest film of the year and it will still not have the kind of impact a TV series has. Once you’re in people’s living rooms, that’s it. There’s no hiding place.

I tend to get cast as a certain type of quiet, almost introverted person who’s strong on the inside, but the characters are so very different I don’t see it as any kind of typecasting.
