Some directors don't tell you that it's not your fault, so you get increasingly depressed that you're not delivering what's required, and then you discover it's not you at all, it's something in the background that's out of focus.

When you were on stage, you could be absolutely open about your emotions and indulge them and express yourself in a way that - in real life - I wasn't doing.

The thing you notice here after America is how refreshingly ordinary people look, because they haven't had their chin wrapped around the back of their ears.

It is so painful watching yourself act, particularly because you can't do anything about it, it's all done and dusted.

My reaction to 3D is subtly. Things don't come out at you, but rather you - The audience come into the film.

When you're on stage with an audience, the director's nowhere to be seen. He's onto the next job.

I think I'm a bit gruffer than I used to be, and I'm certainly older.
