Good dialogue is very important.

When I was younger, people used to say you only really prove yourself as an actor on stage. And I disagree with that. Some of the finest acting I've ever come across has been for film.

I'm always very aware of the physical challenges of work. I train much more than I did when I was in my twenties, and I've done some very physical films, and I always get properly prepared for them and get as fit as I can.

Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.

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

You're always dealing with emotions as an actor.

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