Red Bull are backing a spinal-injury research charity called Wings For Life, which I am an ambassador for, with a programme called Faces for Charity that will run at this year's British Grand Prix.

I love putting things together. I love putting together a team and making stuff with people. It's great, that's what's cool about movies it's such a collaborative effort.

A lot of filmmaking is all about filtering out the bullshit.

When people can be vulnerable to one another then you're kind of giving people permission to really be yourself and not try to impress all the time and you get into more interesting work. You're being real and you're not afraid to mess up or seem weird.

The first film I directed (Explicit Ills), I did when I was like 27 years old. I had been an actor for a certain amount of time, and then I was like, "I want to start directing."

Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it'd be quite hard to live with - so I need to keep racing.

I think, as most people are, I'm fascinated with love, relationships, and my daily life so I'm very inclined to make films about those things.
