I don't like being consumed by work all the time. I consume myself so much when I do a part that I like to step away from it.

It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

America's been very, very good to me. I've been very lucky and worked a lot there, and appreciate and love the work that I've done.

I actually really love working with young actors because they're so responsive and instinctive, and it's a much less honed craft that they're employing.

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.

If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you're turning the story into a totally different thing; the narrative of film is different from that of a book.
