I'm definitely a joker.

I think the best way to become a character is by osmosis as opposed to thinking directly about stuff.

New York cops are very specific in terms of the way they talk and the way they handle themselves.

I try to use public transport, always.

I just like being present.

In Britain, you do your job. When you do an American TV show, there is a sense of being one with the crew, and there is a leadership element, which was a learning curve for me because it is very different culturally. In Britain, you just do it, leave and say, 'Thanks.'

New York police force seems like unlike any other in America and even the world. There’s a very specific culture dynamic, a specific chemistry. There’s almost a specific set of rules because of the city and the size of it.

I’ve always been freaked out in deep open water if there’s a potential of sharks around.

I know there’s Brooklyn and all the boroughs, but Manhattan specifically is so condensed that the energy is very vibrant. Everywhere you look there is something happening.

I saw ‘Captain America’ in 3D. It’s cool. I liked the beginning. It’s a really good setup.
