I dont even think in terms of ambition.

I'm a relatively ugly character who's done pretty damn well in film.

I feel it's a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift.

For years, particularly with the advent of the Internet, people have been griping about lessening attention spans.

Storytelling helps us understand each other, translate the issues of our times, and the tools of theater and film can be powerful in helping young people to develop communication/collaboration skills, let alone improving their own confidence.

London is a very energising place to be.

But I feel that I have a responsibility to help the film and I have relations with the studio and with those who put up the money so that I can tell a story that I believe in.
