I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.

I don't think there's anything that I would really baulk at doing on-screen. I don't think so. I've got certain pet peeves about writing... my pet peeve about reading scripts is when they give you a line reading and there'll be a line but next to your character's name it'll say 'very angry'. But I'm like: "Well, I'll decide that actually!" So, there's little things like that. That's a slight pet peeve.

Poetry is something I love to do. Good poetry has an amazing ability to be communicative before it's even understood. I get emotional just from the beauty of words.

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

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

Also I just think I've been lucky enough to have great parents, and I've had good people around me who have always been honest with me, who would give me a purely metaphorical slap if I ever got too big for my boots.

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