In terms of jumping into a characters skin, I try to immerse myself in the role as much as possible to bring me closer to them. All I do is whats required to achieve what I want to achieve.

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

Sometimes people say to you that you should try to be in a bigger film, but it's the way it pans out.

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.

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.

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.
