When you see a finished film, it's very rare that it exceeds your expectations.

Sport used to play a phenomenal part in my life, because I used to play a lot of county sport, a lot of sport for my school. I love team sports. Talk about being with the boys. I love the camaraderie. That's why I like acting.

My dream is to one day own a country house on the shore in England, have gotten married, wipe some debt off and get a few more good films.

I don't think I know enough about acting to direct. You need to be a slight megalomaniac, not where you want to take over the world, but where you want to make every single decision and the buck stops with you. It's an awful lot of stress.

My dad was a geologist and my mum was a nurse who directed amateur theatrics.

I've thought about writing, but it hasn't happened yet. It's like schoolwork - you start doing your revisions two nights before you're compelled to turn it in.

You spend some time raising a child in London, carrying it around on one side of your body - it puts your back out!
