In Britain, girls seem to be either bright or attractive. In America, that's not the case. They're both.

For me, the great problem growing up in England was that I had a very narrow concept of what God can be, and it was damn close to an old man with a beard.

Who's ever going to write a film in which I get the girl? Me!

I think the problem with people like this is that they are so stupid that they have no idea how stupid they are.

It’s only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve.

I tend to have an odd split in my mind: I tend to look at it as a writer and when the writing thing is OK and I'm happy with it, then I put on my actor's hat.

I was always a sports nut but I've lost interest now in whether one bunch of mercenaries in north London is going to beat another bunch of mercenaries from west London.
