A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.

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.

Audiences can be very judgmental.

Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.

I don't like being consumed by work all the time. I consume myself so much when I do a part that I like to step away from it.

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

I'm one of those actors where usually I'll read a script, and then I'll have a flurry of notes. I'll ask a hundred questions about things, and really get in there and examine it.
