I don't think you should exploit your own pain.

To be too knowing is a downfall.

I'm always curious, but I'm learning things I never thought I'd learn. I get to travel to places I never thought I'd go.

It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with, to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way, and always end up learning something I didn't know.

I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

The (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) stories were great, for one. The thing that makes him a remarkable character is how he can withstand all of these different interpretations and different styles and, that's what makes a classic character a classic character; they keep coming back and you see them in a new way every time.

But I've also spread my net very wide. If there's one thing that I've done on purpose it's to take whatever job, so long as it's interesting and challenging, whether it's theatre, radio, TV or film.
