I try and do films I know I'm going to enjoy watching as well as being in.

The success of the film is down to the crew.

You grow up a lot in terms of your understanding of the industry and how to deal with the corporate things.

Being a salesman and an actor were not that dissimilar: It is a good lesson in covering up your feelings. No one wants to buy from someone who looks depressed.

Sometimes you just can't walk away from films you're offered, like the Dylan Thomas thing.

I don't like acting things; I like feeling things.

You're making a movie, not a documentary. If you made a film like the historians would like you to make, you're not going to go and see it. I'd rather see paint dry.
