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'm definitely not satisfied about my career. I don't know how you can be, it's the very nature of things.

It’s not the job of an actor to judge your character.

The bad reviews get to me, believe me.

If you invite someone into your front room you can't be surprised when there are suddenly people outside your windows with cameras.

If I was being perfectly honest, which I'm not going to be, I think the movie touches on a lot of things that we all went through... the first kiss, which was more than a first kiss for Harry [Eden], and those electrifying moments when you're a teenager that form who you are as a human being. I think those, for me, are what Baillie captured so well.

There is, come to think of it, a kind of Judi Dench quality to McCain.
