It's hard to define somebody by one movie. I mean, unfortunately, my entire life was basically made by Billy Elliot. It was kind of created by that one catalytic moment.

If the right thing came along at the right time, it would be an enormous kind of challenge.

I'm proud of my works. But there's not one thing that I can put my finger on and say, "That is my greatest achievement. That's my proudest moment." That's so tricky to me.

When I see people talking about TV, they're way more animated, way more passionate than when they talk about films.

I love anything that kind of removes me from myself and employs something else. So, I love accents and I love pretending.

New York is full of crazy people, and I like that.

I never had a father figure so I never missed it.
