Everyone loves to hate a spin doctor.

I'm a late developer.

I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!

'The English Patient' was a huge turning point in my career and my life; it became this huge thing. But the whole Oscar build-up got completely out of control; I spent more time talking about that film than I spent making it!

It's very hard having a career in different continents and two different languages.

I am sure that, had I grown up with both parents, had I grown up in a safe environment, had I grown up with a feeling of safety rather than danger, I would not be the way I am.

I'd love to do some comedy. Particularly French comedy, which I know sounds like a contradiction in terms.
