I think if you had to map that out at the beginning and you said, "Right, sit down, this is what you're going to be doing," you'd probably freak out. But I'm someone who really enjoys not being himself. So if you consider that, then it all sort of makes sense.

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.

My wife and I really, really like each other as well as love each other.

I think you need to be able to see a lot of negative in things in order to extract material, so there's probably something to that. A lot of the people I used to work with were very, very, very unfunny offstage, so that's a pretty common thing.

We shot that in Morocco, and got out of the country at the beginning of July - and two months later came the attack on Twin Towers. The movie was then released in December, so that kind of atmosphere is not something that was unfamiliar to me.

The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.

Technically speaking, you can build anything out of sand; it doesn't mean you do it.
