I love huge movies. Not sure I am the guy to make them, but you can rely on me being there watching them.

Brian Cox is the nicest guy, but he's so arrogant.

Film industry is a pretty brutal business. If you fall too far behind, all of the perfectionism in the world won't save you.

The awards season gives a chance for independent films to have a bit of longevity in the press and the media.

A lot of film directors are quite scared of actors. They are a bit of a nightmare sometimes, but I like them. It looks like cunning, but you try to get extra things from them all the time, by stealth, by making them feel confident, so they trust you and you can push a bit.

I like action movies, even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies, which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.

I always think, when there's stuff that people don't like, I always say that if I have another success, I'll enjoy it more, but you don't really.
