Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.

I certainly am not a great believer in over-rehearsing between actors, and certainly not doing the dialogue too much.

I just like to keep challenging myself, keep it varied. It's a craft, and I'm constantly trying to learn and get better at it.

Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.

I go home to London in between jobs, and in London, my life has nothing to do with the business. It's a family life, hanging with friends.

I couldn't bear a marriage in which one partner hinges on the other.

For me, London is and always will be home.
