All those animals that were in the cages, I would spend a lot of time in those cages with the animals in-between shots, just hanging out, because I prefer animals to humans. If I get an opportunity to be with them, I'll usually take it.

If I could uninvent anything, I would uninvent Hitler's mum, guns and broccoli.

Not being busy is something I worry about, but I think work begets work.

If I had a choice as to my perfect career, I would make a couple of films a year and then concentrate on natural history.

I've worked on films where the budgets are almost limitless and you're in trailers that are bigger than a hotel room. You're taken care of and the food is amazing, the quality of the job is amazing and then you work on smaller things but it never dictates my happiness or my willingness to go to work.

I've learnt that the world over, everyone's essentially the same. We are all trying to have a nice time and get along with things.

My brother's a teacher in Costa Rica and actually does a more important and significant job than I will ever do.
