I actually really love working with young actors because they're so responsive and instinctive, and it's a much less honed craft that they're employing.

I'm English and I'm used to coming from a world of period dramas, where there's a very polite restraint to everything. Everybody's sort of sitting in drawing rooms.

A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger.

I've got actor friends who didn't get breaks, who struggle and worry about things that I'm fortunate not to have to worry about.

I did it for the money. But its not worth much if you cant face yourself in the mirror. Respect is the ultimate currency.

When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.

I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.
