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

I like being in kids' movies, and I like being in family movies.

I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.

Hunger is almost like something the West does. It's almost like the direct result of the way the West performs.

I'm not good at watching myself which I think is perfectly natural. I don't give myself a hard time about it. I am the worst critic.

All actors who have been around for a long time, which I have, and have been skint for long periods, which I have, find it difficult to turn down jobs. If I turn anything down my stomach turns over. I feel sick. It feels like gambling.

From my point of view, it's very refreshing to play a regular human being and not someone from another dimension. When I say "not act," what I mean is just to be as natural and as normal as possible.
