I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.

I think I’m quite a lazy person, actually. If I’m not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.

I couldn't think of anything worse than going to a fancy dress party. So, if somebody invited me to one, I'd go as the Invisible Man and not turn up.

I'd really like to get on a Greyhound bus and go backpacking across America.

You want people to identify with the person on the screen or in the theater, but you don't want them to identify with you as a person.

I'm no good at down-time. I panic slightly and then plan a project or set up a meeting about starting a project.

I like to act because I can forget about everything else.
