I take my work enormously seriously. When I do something, it has to feel right. Everything has to be right. I’m not ambitious about my career, but I am ambitious with each job. I can be fairly annoying to work with. No compromises, let’s put it this way. Compromises are from hell.

I have a three-piece suit. I’m an art collector. I have a funny accent. So I’m probably the killer.

I think the meaning of life is life itself. We don't necessarily want to know what it is, but we want to live it. Hopefully, we'll go out fast without knowing it.

Everyone who makes a Star Wars film wants to make it their own but they also have to be true to the concept.

Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell.

When you do a TV show, there's always the fear that it will become tired and you'll know exactly what's going to happen.

If you're playing the bad guy, you have to find what you like about them.
