You never know what's right, what you feel inside versus what is portrayed.

Up there on the screen, we can all fly. But down here on earth, we need to be each others wings.

I'm trying to buy a house and set some sense of roots because otherwise you're constantly chasing one job after another, and you look back and you've had all these very extraordinary experiences with extraordinary people, but there's not a line of continuity to it.

I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.

I always think of comedy as being spontaneous, and yet everything about filmmaking is not spontaneous.

If you've loved something and then in some ways you become a part of it, you just don't want to be the one that screws it up!

Making 'Birdsong,' on the one hand you have how prestigious it is and the reputation of the book, which is something that's an extraordinary piece of work. Sebastian Faulkes is a genius. So you feel that responsibility when you're portraying that character that he's imagined and millions of readers have pictured.
