The book tells you everything you need to know. The book is the map of the world that you're in with the character.

When you play a character that is so emotionally closed there are times when you ask yourself if you are doing enough and if it's reading. That is where you have a director, who is the barometer of what you are doing.

It's becoming increasingly harder and harder; there's no such thing as independent film anymore. There aren't any, they don't exist. In the old days you could go and get a certain amount of the budget with foreign sales, now everybody wants a marketable angle.

Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.

I was never really that interested in the punk movement. I was a blues guy: I liked Motown, James Brown.

I don't see a great difference between someone sending a robot or a drone to bomb people and controlling it on a PlayStation from another country. It's thousands of miles away as opposed to someone in an airplane who is thousands of feet away releasing a bomb.

What other people think of me is none of my business.
