What I liked about American movies when I was a kid was that they're sort of larger than life and I think I'm still suffering from that reaction.

We're not unique. We're quite volatile as individuals, but that doesn't work exponentially when we are together. Relationships are about eating humble pie.

It's still too early to say how my wife will influence my life. But I do already know that it's sometimes hard work living with her.

I am not involved in any 'issues' because it's too sensitive for me - or my wife - to get involved. Every time we express an opinion it becomes a whole thing in itself. And the whole purpose of living in the countryside was to get away from hundreds of people. My wife fell off a horse, and suddenly there are hundreds of people around.

Previously, on Lock, Stock, I went to bed at two in the morning and woke up at five in the morning, and on this one I was known to nod off on the set occasionally.

In fact, 95% of the people in my films have been nothing less than a pleasure to work with.

I'm single again and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm loving it at the moment. This is what I've been missing.
