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

I got involved in script development from the beginning. It was nice to see how a film gets made right from the beginning. It was quite hands-on for me.

If the script is not so good and it is a great director you're more likely to do it. But generally speaking, my passion for a project starts or stops with the quality of the script.

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

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

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

You should be careful what you wish for, as the reasons for war get confused. One person can be very clear in their motives, but others can have different agendas.
