I don't ever want to be a sentimentalist. I prefer to be a realist. I'm not a romantic really.
In Britain, you do your job. When you do an American TV show, there is a sense of being one with the crew, and there is a leadership element, which was a learning curve for me because it is very different culturally. In Britain, you just do it, leave and say, 'Thanks.'
Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.
