In Hollywood films everything is tidied up at the end with clean lines and clean character definitions. It's sort of unsatisfying.

The world would be a duller place without Moulin Rouge.

I love a really good storyline.

I see myself as a small 'l' liberal, but not coalition liberal, necessarily.

When you research someone, you actually get beyond your own preconceptions and become aware of the human being other than the image. You become empathetic and sympathetic in turn.

It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.

People smile at me as if they know me. I just smile back. They probably might know me.
