I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters.

The way it works in Hollywood is that if you're hot it doesn't matter if you're right for the part or not, you're just offered it.

I miss sometimes the buzz of America. A sense that anything can change at the drop of a hat. In a way, it's an exhausting thing to live with.

Now we have to contend with overstimulation and too many opportunities all the time, and too many decisions all the time.

I have a terrible sense of direction.

By definition, an actor's life is a recipe for regret. There are always roads you could have taken. But I've lived long enough to realise that each road has its own rewards.

My job now is to work hard and learn all I can.
