If you're not engaged in the writing and it doesn't grab you then you just don't want to do it.

I'm just into making quality stuff if I can, with interesting people and good scripts. But it's very important that it's about something and that it says something. Otherwise, I don't know what the point is, really.

I don't do things lightly, I don't take a job then just phone it in, I've never done that.

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.

I can't know what I'm going to do before I'm in front of the lens. And I think that sort of makes it exciting.

Everything you do on set is directly related to your imagination when you read the script for the first time.

If you're suddenly doing something you don't want to do for four years, just so you've got something to fall back on, by the time you come out you don't have that 16-year-old drive any more and you'll spend your life doing something you never wanted to do in the first place.
