My friends have always called me 'Mr. Thorough,' in that when I get into something, I become obsessed with it.

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.

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.

In some ways, you get to find your voice better in [a sequel] because you have to define how you're doing it differently.

I'm always amazed at the way some actors' behaviour is truly disgusting. That's one thing that will never happen on one of my sets if I ever direct.

I might like to be an actor, but there are loads of other things I'm interested in as well, like music and writing and sports. I want to keep my options open.

Though I am not religious in the least, I am very proud to be Jewish.
