If you're lucky enough to be involved in a film that's about something very real and that you hope will continue to hold up in 20 years' time it just gives you more energy and makes it feel all the more worthwhile.

Over my lifetime, the car had actually transcended the fact that it is a car. It has become a venue.

I think there are times when you walk onto a set you can potentially be either intimidated or distracted by what's going on around you.

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.

Each time you go to the same track you know whether you're improving or whether you're not... it's not open to interpretation. It's measurable - unlike acting.

I am attracted to characters who think they are in control, but their situation is uncontrollable.

I'm realistic about it. It's been quite some years since I've worked full-time in that area, so I no longer have any material that bears any relevance to my life or the audience. I'd need to take probably a year off, which I wouldn't be prepared to do, so it's a romantic ideal.
