All my good friends are actors, really. It's different when you have a family, but they're still the people I meet most often. My best friend is Ian Hart, but then I've known him since I was five.

As a director, your work is finished only when it's on the screen. But I will always be an actor who occasionally directs. And no, I have no interest in directing myself. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on both jobs at once.

I owe my mum a sense of family. She has kept our family together. I have two brothers and a sister, and they all live a stone's throw away from each other in Liverpool.

I think the corruption of power is very interesting, and I think the idea that power is something that... You know, when people want power, they're a certain individual. When people acquire power by accident, they're different again.

The biggest difference between British TV and American TV is money. But what money doesn't do on American TV, which I thought it would, is buy you time. You don't get more time. You get more toys.

The great thing about coming from where I come from - Liverpool and my family - is that we're very close. I have a great relationship with my siblings and their kids.

Tags: Family, Great, Kids

The reason I wanted to start directing is that as an actor I felt I came into a job late. There's a whole team of people who have been working on it for months before you start. You have this really intense period of filming and then you leave it, knowing that the director will work on it for another few months.

When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, it was like saying I wanted to be an astronaut. Not because it was highfalutin' in any way - just because they didn't know anybody in that field. They were anxious of a profession they knew nothing about.

It's always good to find out what you don't want to do.

Tags: Good

Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticised anyone for taking a chance.

Tags: Anyone, Brave, Chance

Liverpool will always be my home.

Tags: Home, Liverpool

My house is very clean apart from a very small part of it that looks as if we've been burgled, which is my office.

Tags: House, Office, Small

My son got me into 'The Mighty Boosh.' I just love that surrealist humour.

Tags: Love, Mighty, Son

Nothing is my guiltiest pleasure. I love it. I love doing it. I love planning to do it, I love loafing and pottering and chilling and daydreaming.

Tags: Love, Planning, Pleasure

Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.

Tags: Amazing, Romantic, Town

The great thing about being an actor is things happen to you very quickly. I like to put myself in the way of surprise.

Tags: Great, Happen, Put

The thing as an actor is you get a sense of what a show is like the minute you walk on the set.

Tags: Sense, Show, Walk

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.

Tags: Dream, Faith, Fear

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?

Tags: Fear, Hurt, Life

God intended Earth. God intended the waters. God intended you and me. We were created in the image and the likeness of God; we are holograms, if you will. So the power, the presence, the energy is within you and me. The energy of God, as life, is within each of us.

Tags: God, Life, Power

I learned a long time ago that if I really wanted to bring my ideas into experience, I needed to write down my intentions. When you put pen to paper, you have little choice but to get specific. The actual process of forming your thoughts into words on a page is a creative act, a genesis, moving energy toward the very thing you want to experience.

Tags: Experience, Moving, Time
