When I was young I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything I used to think 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'

To put a lot of hard work and effort into a project or character and for it to be recognised, how can it not be nice?

It's very, very rare in this business [moviemaking] where a script lands on your lap ready to go.

We actually did a lot of takes on this movie [J. Edgar Hoover]. I never left the set wanting more. That's for sure. I don't know. This was a very difficult character for me and a lot of the other actors here, and at times we went and did 8 or 9 or 10 takes on a single day.

I like to prepare as much as possible beforehand, but there's definitely that element of fear when you're on set, and you have to be conscious of it and use that fear to drive you to work harder.

It's not just global warming, it's not just a loss of biodiversity, it's not just the pollution of our oceans and the clearing of our rainforests and all these complicated systems, The [11th Hour] movie talks about the world economy, it talks about politics, it talks about personal transformation and environmental consciousness that we need to have in this generation to implement a lot of these changes that need to occur.

If you're gonna let the character be the story, you better set a tone that allows the actors to do the best work they can do.
