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

I was at the birth of my two girls.

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 always used to say to myself, I'm going to die of lung cancer. That's the choice I'm making.

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.

There's certainly a huge element of luck in me ending up where I've ended up.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.
