Good scripts are hard to find.

What I like about Layer Cake is its intelligent through-line. First of all, I think it's very close to the truth; I think this is what successful drug dealers are like. They don't drive around in flashy cars, they don't show off, they behave very quietly, they get on with their job and they earn lots of money. And it goes up and up and up and up the scale. Secondly - and selfishly - I like the moral aspect of the movie, which is that violence has consequences, and you feel emotionally involved with the violence.

There is also a distinct possibility that there are other actors ? whose names have not leaked to the press ? who may stand just as good a chance of landing the part.

I love that my friends are all freaks.

The last thing on earth I wanted was to make a Bond movie.

There's a conscious decision to everything I do.

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