I did actually sit down with a blank sheet of paper once. I think the phone rang and that was the end of my literary career.

When you are in something that you're proud of and it's funny and it's a good night out and all of those things, there's nothing quite like it. The rewards are proportionate to the amount of alarm and distress it causes you.

When a movie is called 'searingly honest,' it's almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.

The job is the same - to attempt to make it sound like you've never said it before and as if it's just occurred to you. And that's the same whether you're on camera or whether you're on stage in a room full of people.

I find it hard to relax around any man who's got the second button on his shirt undone.

I don't dislike the process of animation... I find it daunting, but only as much as I find everything daunting.

I generally do things I'm proud to be in and generally I'm in things people like.
