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

I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.

For an actor, it's very important to get a clear idea of what a director wants, and their intention for what they want to get out of a scene and how they want to shoot it. Having that knowledge is really valuable, for an actor. It means you can deliver more.

I was not a very fearful kid, really.

I think anybody who bets on horses and says they win is probably a liar.

I watch a film and the most important thing to me is what I think of the movie.

Very often when you see families it's all perfect and neat, and parenting isn't like that. You do have constant negotiations. Things are ever developing and ever changing, and you constantly have to evaluate how you deal with your kids.
