I find it really hard to even read another script while shooting.

After many years of self-flagellation, I've realised that beating myself up doesn't get me anywhere.

Ever since I saw sexy Beast I've been trying to get the cockney thing down.

Ignore the naysayers. Really the only option is, head down and focus on the job.

As an actor it's easy to be so self-critical, saying to yourself: "Am I good enough? Am I good looking enough? Am I smart enough?" Yet here I am, so I'm lucky.

When I got the job I thought about her a lot. Not only was I getting a great job in a really good movie, but it was with Lindsay Lohan. She's so famous and I don't have any of that, I have never experienced that kind of intense scrutiny that she's under, so of course I wondered what it would be like acting opposite her. I can tell you that it's like being with The Beatles. You cannot fathom the kind of attention she gets. It's mind boogling.
