There's so many intangible forces that come into play when making a film, I have no idea what the public will ultimately think of something that I do, let alone critics.

I have to say as an actor I have been inspired by so many British actors throughout the years.

(Acting) certainly comes-100 percent-from the need to be loved. Any actor who says this isn't true is lying.

We are facing a tipping point of environmental crisis unprecedented in human history and our very survival is dependent on protecting nature.

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

I didn't even know what I did in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'. I just went off with whatever I felt instinctually without a second thought.

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?
