I'm not Tom Cruise. Very few British actors are. If you look at the body of work I've done it's pretty obvious I'm not going to make a 'Mission: Impossible.'
I always prefer things straight up, not cold or watered down. Not big on cocktails either.
A job is not just a job. It’s who you are.
The only film I ever made for money was something called Music From Another Room, which I really didn`t like.
If you want to change who you are, you have to change what you do.
I think everyone goes through chapters in their life and there was a time when I wasn't feeling terribly positive about what I was contributing to film, or wasn't feeling as if I was going in the direction I wanted and I re-evaluated what I was doing.
