“It's interesting when you're in your thirties and you're not the same pretty boy…” — Rupert Graves

I'm crap at interviews. I'm just not very good at sentences.

I never went to acting school. I started in the circus, music hall, I was in a group, did kids' bits. I've always had this kind of insecurity being uneducated.

I drifted into acting, and I've drifted into my career, and I've never been guided by anything particularly concrete.

I'm entirely uneducated. I went to public school - public in the American sense - a blue-collar, working-class school. I never got a scholarship, I left when I was 15, never did any exams.
