I've always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films.

I loved working with him [Justin Chadwick]. He was very smart in how he assembled the people around him and had a crew that he knew very well. He was very comfortable on the set and I never felt that I was working with a first-time filmmaker.

A girl's got to be fun. It's the one bit of advice I always give to friends of mine who are thinking of getting married.

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'm very much a bit of a ghost presence.

By the time I finished comedy, I was really burnt out of it. I had had enough. I don't really have a strong desire to prove myself in that area, or to go back to it in any great way.

The more I love the character, the harder it is to get it wrong. I have to get to a point that I can speak for them.
