If a great comedy landed on my doorstep, I would find it hard to say no.

I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.

Film sets are great fun. Film people are great people to hang around with. I don't want to run off and be distracted by other things.

If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?

I have a theory that I really want my kids to know - the only coloration that they make between dad being in films and reality is just a lot of people doing a lot of hard work.

I've never been someone that's had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn't give you the chance to be flexible.

I've always been attracted to cars, and driving is a completely measurable experience: if you qualify last on the grid, you're the slowest, and if you qualify first on the grid, you're the fastest. So no one can say you're slow if you're fast and no one can say you're fast if you're slow.
