I'm a great fan of Michael Mann and when he asked to see me I couldn't believe it. I was very happy. I met him and I read this beautiful script. I didn't know anything about Dillinger. I fell in love with the movie and Michael Mann.

When you are abandoned by two parents as a baby - wow, that is something to live with.

But it's very technical and you really have to work and work and work to crack it. It's about using your whole face, jaw and tongue in a totally different way. It was very interesting - I love the English language, which made it easier.

I think we're lied to about a number of things.

I'm always very scared when I start a movie because I never know if I'm going to be able to do a good job or do a very bad job.

It's pretty refreshing to be in a situation where the spotlight is on someone else.

Respect the place you live, be aware of the impact that you have on things.
