I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.

I'm a warrior when it comes to pursuing roles.

Leaving a role is a terrible sadness. The last day of the shooting is surreal. Your soul, your body and your mind are not ready at all to see the end of this experience. In the following months after a film shoot, one feels a deep sense of void.

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime.

Film has become such a central part of our culture now that I think sometimes too great a weight is placed upon it in terms of scrutiny and analysis. There's a lot of rather specious professorial stuff that swirls around films.

I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.
