“Another thing that really helps me is reading. It’s a huge thing for me. I find that it takes up enough of my mind so that I find it relaxing, and I don't concentrate on the things that are bothering me”
"I grew up in a small town in Ireland and didn't know any actors. I never thought it was a viable job. It wasn't until I was on 'The Tudors' that I realised it was a possibility."
“I owe everything to this job [Merlin] - it has made my life, it has made me the actor that I am today. Any chances I have after this are directly because I had five years on such a great show”
