I don't think many people get to play big emotions in life.

What was interesting was talking to older gay men about what it was like being gay in the Eighties.

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

I haven't done as many films as I would have liked.

Everything's so accelerated now.

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.

I'm shocked at being recognized.
