I live on a bicycle...I live in central London, probably 90 percent of my travel is done on a bicycle. I love bicycles.

I got too fed up with films that didn't make you think. I liked the idea of one that you'd have to be dancing around with. I like my mind to be engaged when I watch a film.

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.

I love fatherhood. I could bang on about kids forever.

We can all be conned but at what point do we realize that we're being conned and to what point do we allow ourselves to be conned?

I like to think that we've got a plan, so let's stick to it. That said, once we've stuck to it, we're allowed as much improvisation as anyone cares to indulge themselves in.

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