The world would be a duller place without Moulin Rouge.

To do a blockbuster that isn't stressful is a delight.

I love a really good storyline.

If you're playing any real person, live or dead, you certainly have a responsibility to produce that reputation in some way.

I'm not that comfortable with actors receiving honours, partly because I think they ought to go to those who really help others.

You can't be angsty all day or else it becomes a sort of pale angst.

I never was a great Thatcher fan, and it wasn't a sad day in my life when she resigned.
