One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.

Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.

I think it's dangerous to get into ideas of planning careers.

I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.

The financial implode is bound to be reflected in the movies that are being made, there's no question.

As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.

I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.
