Whenever somebody says they need an angle for their story I always fear that they've got an idea and they want me to fit into it or they want me to come up with an idea myself or I'm supposed to be more revealing than I've been, and to me it just sounds like something I don't want to do.

It's hard to find scripts that know what they are from page one to page 115.

I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.

You do hear some strange rumours floating around. One I've heard is that I'm allergic to metal.

I'm a big Philip Roth fan. I think "American Pastoral" is the great American novel of the past 30 to 40 years. It's a novel about what happened in the 1960s, and I think America is still dealing with what happened then. It's devastatingly sad.
