The female attention I have to struggle hardest with is from my two-year-old daughter.

Soap opera seems to be a dirty word, but actually they are the most popular shows we have.

It's nice to get your glad rags on for awards like the Baftas, but it doesn't happen all the time.

The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears.

It's great when somebody is able to communicate an actual shot sequence to you and you know the world you're inhabiting with that. It's literally a haunting tune.

All my early school reports from the age of 5 were 'Daniel must learn not to distract others.'

At the age of 11 I was about 6 ft. tall and my voice had completely broken. That caused problems. I was this gangly, spotty, very unattractive kid. I wasn't cool and I wasn't a nerd. I didn't even want to fit in with anyone.
