In all good westerns, the good guy is always a little bit questionable because he kind-of has to make moral judgments.

hen Baillie [Walsh, writer and director] wrote the movie for me I wasn't doing what I'm doing today, so when we actually came to make the movie it seemed silly to change it. But who knows? That's the way things go. What was interesting for me - and what was always interesting in the script - was that you've got someone who appears to have everything, or at least has the opportunity to have everything, and he's f**ked it up, or lost it.

I'm not averse to earning someone; in fact I'd love to earn some money. But also my choices of movies don't tend to make money but I get to make interesting films. But it doesn't mean I don't want to earn shitloads of cash.

I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.

I don't want to be a celebrity because that sucks. It's just madness.

I’m potentially worth a lot of money, but I’ve got to go and make something that’s worth a lot of money.

I know in my life there's stuff that will come back because I haven't dealt with it, and it's the same with everybody.
