Comedy is actually very hard. It’s hard to choose those moments and know when you can really push it, and know when you should be bringing it back and making it more subtle, and knowing as time goes on, as you do take after take and the crowd around you stops laughing.

I do get stressed at times, but I love what I do as an actor. This is the part that I don’t like. I don’t actually like talking about – I wish I could just go and get on with my job, because I love getting a script, breaking it down, working with other people, bonding with other people, fighting with other people, and out of those arguments, creating something that nobody expected and seeing it all come together. Telling a story, having an impact on people’s lives, moving them and making them laugh.
