Exposure makes you famous, not just good work. Famous is being plastered everywhere.

I'm not famous for my back story investigations; I'm lucky that I work with good writers and it's usually in the script.

When you work with actors, what you're hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.

Fame is something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you're trying to be famous, your work usually suffers.

My characters are much more famous than I am, so I don't crave attention; I just crave working and doing good work. Having a feeling of self-worth.

My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way, way too old now, mate. That boat's sailed.

Quite frankly, I didn't become an actor to become a movie star. I have never dreamed about being the most famous person on the planet. I just want to do really good work.

Everyone always asks me, 'Do you want to be famous... ' I never really thought about becoming famous. I just want to work, to be able to put out inspiring and good film and TV.

Usually, when people hear my last name, before they really get to know me or work with me, there's probably a lot of preconceived notions that come with that. And I imagine most of them aren't good. Because for every wonderful second generation of a famous person, there's people that aren't that way. More entitled people.
