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.

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.

I've had some great times with actresses, but that's in a movie.

For me, London is and always will be home.

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

I've been very fortunate with the scripts I've had and the people I worked with.

I find sometimes that if you do too many takes, it starts to become meaningless to me. It is hard to sustain it for me. I don't want to do too many.
