My father wasn't a cruel man. And I loved him. But he was a pretty tough character. His own father was even tougher - one of those Victorians, hard as iron - but my dad was tough enough.

Ryan Gosling. He was a good kid, good actor. I like him very much. What was the name of the movie? I've forgotten it. Fracture.

My weak spot is laziness. Oh, I have a lot of weak spots: cookies, croissants.

I never make conscious decisions.

I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

The movie industry is full of crazy people who think that they are god.

I found a way into the acting business because I thought, well, it beats working for a living, and so that's what I do. But I still feel like a bit of a stranger in it all. I've never really belonged anywhere.
