I'm happiest when I can just be a director and watch.

I don't know anyone who's suffered lung cancer.

With a woman of sophistication, class and modesty and refinement, I become a totally tongue-tied buffoon. I can't even look her straight in the face.

As an actor, I'm familiar with having bursts of energy, where you're giving things a try, and then you have down time.

A bicycle has transformed my experience of London.

I'm not sure I'm the sort of actor people are hugely interested in finding out an awful lot about.

You really are being quite foolish to smoke.
