When I would knock about the town in London, I was doing it with my head down, walking very quickly and it had become the norm for me because I'm recognized there. And people are not unkind but occasionally there's a sort of British who do you think you are sort of, I don't really think I'm anybody. I just go about my normal day. But sometimes you're faced with that.

A million pounds sounds like a lot of money now that I'm saying it. But in terms of moviemaking, it's not a lot of money. And yet you can see what can be done with that, with the talent of a great cinematographer and great director and actors.

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

Ultimately, you have to not worry about people thinking you should have played him differently. You're the one playing the part so it has to be yours.

I certainly have no plans to leave London. It's a great town.

I keep waiting to be invited to the hip hop party, I've never been. So if there's anyone out there who is having a hip hop party, I'd like to come.

I wanted to go and explore the world, I guess. And I suddenly thought well, I'll just do it.
