Stephen Graham

“I like time ticking the way it is.”

“I like how TV used to be - 'Boys from the Blackstuff' and 'Play for Today', instead of 'Stars in Your Eyes' and 'Celebrity Come Cook With Me' or whatever. I hate all that stuff.”

“If I get the walk of a character, that helps me find them. So I'm constantly looking at airports and train stations, registering walks.”

“I'm a mixed race lad from Liverpool. I get to play a lot of hard characters, and some people perceive that's what I'm like, but it's great for me 'cos they're always the most interesting characters.”

“I love my creature comforts.”
