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.

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 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.

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

The point is to be involved in the moment.
