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

I'm taking probably the biggest risk of my career in playing the part in Filth. If you stop taking risks, then you get bored, or you just keep playing the same part, over and over again. Eventually audiences get bored of that, as well.

Playing somebody who's obsessed. Playing somebody who is transgressing, and who is really crossing moral lines and ethical lines. That's always interesting.

Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money.

I judge people very quickly.

A cry-wanking scene is the struggle to live, in a single moment.

'St. Elmo's Fire' is one of my favorite films. I like the storytelling of those teenage American films. You don't get that now. Teenage American movies are all about sick jokes, puking a lot, arse jokes.
