When I left school I went to Australia for a year and worked in the drama department of a school in Perth.

The reason I wanted to be an actor is that I don't want to play me for the rest of my life and make money out of that.

I know that Madonna is not a first-time filmmaker, but I have worked with a lot of first time filmmakers and I have worked with a lot of inexperienced film directors so that never has particularly worried me - I find it quite exciting - but I have never worked with a director who has had so little experience of directing who was so prepared.

It felt good doing a physical job, and going home each evening feeling like I had really done a day's work.

Your version of the truth is all that matters.

All directors on all sets behave slightly differently depending on what the scene is. For example, if you are doing a love scene, which is intimate then the director is likely to be intimate. If you are doing a scene where everyone is mucking around and laughing then the director is likely to start with that. If you are playing a scene which us incredibly heavy and everyone getting killed then there are probably not many laughs on the set.

I'm not really very ambitious.
