I used to joke I was a point-and-click actor. My whole process has been about trusting your instincts and hitting your mark.

To be honest, I would like to have worked with Peter Sellers, because when people talk about classic British actors, you talk about Lawrence Olivier, and Peter Sellers was just in the most amazing films.

If you like the book, you'll hate the movie.

In my experience of doing physical scenes, half of your energy is spent on trying to get the other actor to enter into it physically with you. Most actors don't want to hurt each other.

I wasn't the most popular kid in school.

Ironing boards are a classic example of something I find horrible about modern society: the excitementation, for want of a better word, of mundane things.

It's almost a problem how much I enjoy my work.
