If you ever see me in a social setting wearing any sort of sportswear, then you know I'm in crisis.

I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until I got one, and now they seem sort of meaningful and important.

I am a fan of rehearsal. I like doing it [scene] over and over and over and over until it looks like you never did it before.

I don't normally watch films I'm in because I'm squeamish about that and it takes me quite a long time to recover and I have to go to work. I'm not being coy or cute, but it's just true.

I have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance.

More people saw me in 'Love Actually' than had seen me in everything else I had ever done up to that point.

I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.
