I tend to do golf charity things because it's much safer and you don't get much chance of a broken arm or leg.

I just love jumping into someone else's life. It is a relatively cheap way to experience things you would be too scared to contemplate in your own life.

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

Method acting is a label I don't really understand, because there's a method to everybody's acting.

When you do bigger films, the financiers take more risks.

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

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.
