A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.

The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.

In L.A., it's very hard to have some kind of conscience of some style out there. The weather's too hot; there's no seasons.

I love to get behind the wheel and get competitive.

Every actor has a strength, and sometimes you just respond to things that you see yourself better at. I'm aware of what I can and can't do.

Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.

I suppose that's the European way, dangerous and hairy.
