I'm not tortured and neurasthenic - I'm really not.

I find it really hard to say anything coherent or interesting about the work I do.

I'd like to have a go at directing.

When you have a character to work with, you carry them around in a strange way - they make you look at the world in a different way.

I love films. I love music. I love poetry and stories. All of that I feel… I sort of get very excited and fed by.

What I notice about people who are gifted in filmmaking is that they're great thinkers. They engage with big ideas and they engage with people.

I don’t think that actors are necessarily any more uncomfortable in their skin than anyone else. I suppose I feel more comfortable in my skin now, but you’re always playing a character, aren’t you? You tell different versions of yourself to different people and vice versa. Here, or in the photo shoot or wherever, it’s a representation of you. It’s not you-you. That’s how you get through it.
