At school there was no acting to be had other than school plays which I did now and again.

I wanted to make sure that I was making films about the world. So I thought well, I should go and see it. I'm spending a lot of time in - we call them caravans in Britain.

Don't worry about telling your actor what to do.

I played music all through school and I kind of performed that way.

What matters most with any regimen, whether it's to lose weight or stop drinking or smoking, is your willingness to seek help and your desire to say 'no more.

A tent, a roll mat, a little bit of food, a bit of petrol in your tank and a vague idea of where you're going and that's all you need.

I have worked with a lot of great directors but my favorites are all entirely different from one another. They don't go about it the same way.
