As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.

I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.

I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.

Good dialogue is very important.

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

One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.
