I grew up around jazz. I love jazz.

When you're in theater or the circus or film - to me it's all one - affairs happen. People fall in love.

I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.

Some of the greatest relationship films of all time, the two stars have hated each other, but mostly you see that chemistry.

When I was growing up you would see big American films that really mythologised their landscape, that really showed the vastness and the drama of their country.

Opera was the cinema of its time, so to bring back that popular appeal, you just need to unleash its visceral immediacy and excitement. Most productions don't manage that - but when an opera does do it, you never forget it.

I understand that anything actors are doing, good or bad, is motivated by fear.
