As a kid I never had the impulse to climb anything. I think that most kids who live in small towns or rural areas outside of the city, that's what they do - climb walls, or trees, or whatever. To me, it was more dance classes and not being very boyish.

Let's say that you commit a crime, you get caught, you might get sent to prison. It's going to be bad. But if you get caught spying, you're literally hanged the next morning.

I think I have much more appreciation for directing and movies overall versus a performance or an actor. Their body of work is more interesting.

Saying "muff" to someone and trying to be romantic is incredibly difficult.

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

I'm just a small guy so if I'd dropped any more weight it would have been a bit ridiculous.

I never realised that the Edinburgh skyline was so interesting - it's gothic and very urban and there's a lot of church spires and old brownstone buildings.
