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.

I learned with 'The Beach' that I'm a bit better lower down the radar.

One of the traditions of film acting is a sort of mumbled realism. Be minimal, and do less. 'Even less than that.'

I'm not a 'Star Wars' geek.

Clearly, you can think back and see that a character has had enormous odds stacked against him and has to overcome them. It's usually a guy, I'm afraid. But then you're setting up a new movie you have amnesia about these meetings, when you've discussed it more analytically.

I dont see much difference between it and the other films though I can see on a rational and intelligent level there is a big difference.

I don't want to make pompous, serious films.
