You know, I wish I wasn't so young when I made some of my movies, because I thought that's what the rest of my life was going to be like and I'd have all the time in the world to enjoy it. It wasn't and I didn't.

I wasn't trying to do a play or do what Kevin Spacey did. I was trying to do my own thing with it.

Isn't it funny? You hear a phone ring and it could be anybody. But, a ringing phone has to be answered doesn't it?

Most of my career I've spent really nervous. Just about work, getting work and having it in.

When I was younger, my whole sense of self-worth was based on whether or not I was working, which was awful. And I had a baby at 20 years old, so it wasn't just about me. At around the age of 30 there was a stretch where I wasn't working - certainly not on anything I liked, anyway - and I started to do other things.

My mother's five foot two and, I'll be honest with you, she's the only person I'm scared of.
