Golf courses are beautiful, it's good for the soul and it gets out the anger... well, if you don't care about the score then you won't have a heart attack.

Obviously if you're playing some of the smartest men in the world, you want to sound really smart.

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

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.

Some actors go, 'Bing!' and suddenly they're being paid huge sums. Me, I seem to get screwed every time.

I wouldn't say I'm drawn to dark roles, and it's not like I pick and choose.

I'm not posh, not in the slightest. My parents spent some money on my education, but I wasn't born to the purple.
