I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out.

I heard the various terms of abuse at school and probably indulged them in the way you do as a kid.

I went being unemployed for three years to being the lead in a British feature in the days when we only made two a year, 1990. It was ridiculous really.

We like to think that our parents made a decision to bring us into the world.

What goes down on film is different to what you see with the naked eye.

I think the themes of belonging and parentage and love are obviously universal.

No matter how big a name you are, how many big series you've been in or how good looking you are, in the end, all actors are secondary to the writer.
