I've always enjoyed sex scenes, though you're not really supposed to. The classic answer is, 'Oh, it's not sexy at all because there are so many technicians standing around.' But I've always found them extremely arousing.

For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.

I cling to the fantasy that I could have done something more creative. Like actually writing a script, or writing a book. But the awful truth is that I... probably can't!

I don't think there's much point in putting me a deep, dark, heavy, emotional film because there are people who do it so much better than I do.

But when you're a celebrity, you discover that you're no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That's one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man.

I think that's the whole point of Bridget Jones. It's all about that it's okay to fail.

And I particularly like the whole thing of being boss. Boss and employee... It's the slave quality that I find very alluring.
