If you make a movie in the UK you've got to embrace the weather with open arms... We got some of the most amazing weather as well. It's maybe why some of these places, like the Lake District, don't get filmed in so much. If you were trying to make it look like some kind of chocolate box image of England you'd be there all year waiting for the sun to come out.

Doctor Who is pretty dark, I think. Generally its dark; its always been dark.

If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things.

The only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.

I like that confusion when people are speaking in the same language but still can't understand each other. It's also usually my experience of being in America - when I speak no one can understand what I'm saying.

Film is more of a dream when you're younger. I found it almost impossible to see how you would get into the industry having no connections, nobody in the family being anywhere near it and never meeting anybody that had been on a set.
