I'm somebody who is very, very proud to have been a part of the British film industry all my life and to have kind of been involved with a very important piece of British film history.

And I'm slightly in love with Scarlett Johansson: she's just stunning. And she's bright, which is incredibly sexy.

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

I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.

Shyness displays itself differently in me. I think it's more an awkwardness.

It's interesting for myself, growing up as an Asian-American filmmaker. Coming into the industry, my parents always said, "No one's going to give you the opportunity. You just have to do the work. Be better than everyone else, so they can't deny it."

People tell me I look mournful. They say, "Cheer up, Dan, it's not that bad!" Sometimes, I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I'm a happy person.
