I'm constantly trying to be as original as I can.

If it's a great role or a great film, then you're happy to be a part of it.

I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me.

I can be completely indulgent and spend as many hours and days or weeks as I like on one thing. Writing music and sitting in my studio, just pottering with ideas, it's a lot more personal and creative for me, I don't feel restricted.

I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy,' because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things.

I grew up with such an affinity to cats. I adore the way that they think and operate.

I tend to project my father figure onto any director that I'm working with, or mother, if I'm working with a female, or it can be confused.
