My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director.

I'm very comfortable discussing my personal life, because it's so boring.

I am a frighteningly thorough person.

Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.

Acting is really instinctual and I think you can overanalyse what you're doing. A lot of it has to be based on instinct.

A friend often says I'm an old man in a young man's husk. I like that. I am old-fashioned in some ways.

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