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

If a scene is three pages long, quite often people break it up and do a page, say 'cut' then move on to the next bit, they do it in cuts. I don't really like doing that; I like to go through it all in one organic run, then give notes afterward. A little bit more like theater.

I think the most romantic thing you can do is just turn up. Turn up when it's difficult for you. Travel halfway around the world or just up the road. Whatever it is, just be there.

I'd like to have stayed in the Scouts beyond the age of 12.

Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration.

I also really liked playing Mr. Tumnus in 'Narnia'. I got to play my favorite character in children's literature, which I loved. You don't get the chance to do that in other jobs.

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