I was born in Wales but I'm not Welsh - I'm English.

I do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that.

If I'm not working, I really have nothing to do with it - I'm not hanging out and mixing with film people. Not that I have anything against film people; they're some of the best people around and some of the worst people around, just like in any business... they just gesticulate a little bit more.

In everyday life, my wife is the most wonderful. We're in love with each other beyond belief.

It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.

A lot of actors say that theater's the thing for them. And that's great, and I'm not one to speak with any authority about it because of not having done it properly. For me, movies are what I love.

I always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.
