I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege.

I'd rather be shot than be seen falling out of some trendy club.

I think if actors don't think of themselves as funny in real life they think they can't do comedy.

Half my fan mail comes from Japan.

I love music, and I love singing.

When you're doing a film, people are always telling you exactly what to do. Literally, your own decisions are taken away from you.

I swim a lot. I swim most days.
