The world seemed less scary and I started to like myself a little bit more.

At the heart of every really good Christmas movie is the threat, I suppose, to Christmas. Something is wrong with Christmas, in all of these movies. In 'The Polar Express,' there's a kid that doesn't really believe, and that's the threat to Christmas. In 'Santa Claus: The Movie,' jealousy and greed are threatening to overrun his Christmas.

I think I'm losing my hair finally. And, yeah, that's kind of all I know.

It's weird when you're watching yourself in a film - you can't really detach yourself from the experiences you've had that day. You're never watching the film as a proper punter.

The better the script is the more you can commit, but you can only really commit with full confidence when you know the material is as strong as your level of commitment to it and it frees you up.

I don't want to be all worthy about it, but I don't do red carpets, I don't do events and I don't accept freebies that much.

That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
