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.

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

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

Anyone who can do the splits and come back up on the backbeat, as James Brown and Prince can, has my eternal respect. Prince, who is a genius of the highest order, can come back up while singing and playing the guitar.

I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain.

One of the things that is assumed about actors is that they are extrovert, which is almost never the case, in my experience.

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.
