I'd love to do a Paul Greengrass movie, or something like that, that's a character-driven action film. I'd like someone to make me go to the gym every day, and all that stuff. I don't know.

Carey MulliganPeople always say, "You played such a strong character." I remember someone said that to me when I played a role in Shame, and she was a suicidal mess.
