Ultimately the most challenging thing, always, is to just be convincing

I'll generally write out every scene that's in the film on a couple of pieces of paper, just with a little one-line. And then I can scan it a bit and go, 'This first third of the film, generally, I'm kind of calm.' Then I might do something on one piece of paper that just relates to the energy of the character.

The majority of people who join law enforcement are doing it for good, moral reasons, but then there are the few who get through, where you go, 'Whoa, hold on a second. What's this guy doing here?'

I really enjoy a variety of different work, and what I've just done may sometimes determine what I choose to do next.

If I'm exhausted, physically and particularly emotionally, I can't tell what's good and I can't tell what's bad and I'm useless.

A movie that gets a PG-13 rating can show someone running down a street killing 27 people. And there are no repercussions.

English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English; I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent.
