If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.

There have not been any troughs as regards my work. There's never been a trough of my assurance.

Family is family over the internet, over Skype, over the telephone. Love is love. You don't have to actually go through some ritual to prove that you love somebody.

I honestly have no strategy whatsoever. I'm waiting for that script to pop through the letterbox and completely surprise me.

I do believe female directors, as well as our female writer, can bring out male vulnerability that some men can't because they can't face it.

They're a very strange lot actors, very strange people.

I think that Shakespeare had his male side and his female side extremely well developed. And this was a great quality of the Elizabethan, all-around Renaissance man. They were not afraid of their male side and their female side co-existing. This somewhere along the line got lost. And then it got misunderstood.
