Usually I'm trying to work with people that I've worked with before, so we have a certain amount of know-how and what we're going to do together.

I like fashion. My mum was a dressmaker, believe it or not, so the consequence of that was that all my clothes were homemade, and I looked like a terrible mess until I was old enough to buy my own. But I love good tailoring.

Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you'll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It's so much more rewarding.

A franchise is dictated on the success of doing one film right, so if you can get it done correctly, you've got a chance of something else, but sometimes it just doesn't work that way. Ideally, it's insurance for the future; if you can do something, if you can find a character that people really do like, then you're very lucky.

I just gravitate to those more testosterone-filled sort of parts than me playing something a bit more fairy-like.

I’m prepared to take risks. And every movie that I do is a risk. No one knows what the movie is going out turn out like.
