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

The way the elderly are treated, and in some cases warehoused and medicated, rather than nurtured and listened to, is distressing.

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

I'm just aware of what I'm thinking and feeling but I do obviously have to get that to the back of the auditorium. So there are things like projection and filling the room, and not dropping the ends of lines - technical things which are important, but I don't think they change the way I feel in a scene.

I'm not famous for my back story investigations; I'm lucky that I work with good writers and it's usually in the script.

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