I've had friends who have come away who've said, "I shouldn't have become such close friends with the director." You always want to get on with the director, but I personally prefer a relationship where you respect them - you get on really well with them, but they're boss, as it were. It's about trusting your director, for better or for worse. They're the one's seeing what's coming out on the monitors, so you have to try and trust what they say.

The most romantic things are very small, kind gestures from people you love.

It's better to think of life as a proper journey with a beginning and an end. Maybe, I can settle for being immortalised on screen.

As an actor, Hollywood would be a horrible place to go if you weren't actually invited.

I actually wanted to be a jazz musician first. My grandparents introduced me to Louis Armstrong. I loved Louis Armstrong so I took up the trumpet and just did that every day and practiced that.

I think it's more important to seek the truth than to try and be perfect, to be honest.

I don't think I've reached perfection by any stretch of the imagination, but maybe someday I'll become a perfectionist.
