I've been out to LA a couple of times but, over there, the Grenouille in me always comes to the surface. I feel completely terrified, totally flummoxed, like I don't understand what the hell is going on. I've no desire at all to go back there.

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.

I would have loved to have been a painter or a sculptor. I'm still fascinated by those things.

My favorite Bond films are the really early ones, the first ones in fact, like 'Dr. No' and 'From Russia with Love.'

For me, it's important to keep a level of anonymity.

My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.

I reckon domesticated cats have a pretty good life.
