It is awesome to feel you are carrying on the family name.

I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot.

The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.

For about a year, I just didn't know what to do. I did laboring jobs, working in the docks, construction sites.

I avoid talking about the way I work. But in avoiding it I seem only to have encouraged people to focus their fantasies about me in an ever more fantastical way on the details that are not at all at the centre of the work.

Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.

You can never fully put your finger on the reason why you're suddenly, inexplicably compelled to explore one life as opposed to another.
