Give us a break! I've hardly done anything but independent films.

I think it is nice for people to appreciate a slow-burning, beautiful story that makes you feel good when it is over.

I had to learn to dance for 'The Adjustment Bureau' and it was nearly impossible. I turned up with my knees knocking in my leotard and went home and cried my eyes out.

People just want to know something, anything. It's all the stuff you never want to talk about, the private stuff.

My personal feeling is that audiences are crying out for stories they can invest in and feel. I see a lot of big movies that leave me feeling rather numb.

Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.

I always think that the most interesting characters are those that are trying to cover something or those that have some sense of bravado or composure.
