It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.

I'm always very aware of the physical challenges of work. I train much more than I did when I was in my twenties, and I've done some very physical films, and I always get properly prepared for them and get as fit as I can.

I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.

One of the views of the [actor's] job is that whatever age you are, there's a role that's about who you are and where you are. There are parts for that age that you can bring things to.

I don't just like to have 1 take, but not too many. I think it is good to keep it alive.

When I look back, if I'd played something differently, it might not have gone the way it did. So I don't feel like going back to my twenties and changing anything.

I am a big soccer fan, and a very big Liverpool fan.
