My phrase has always been that I am looking for the versatility of theatre in film. I think I have been quite lucky in that so far.

Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.

It makes me feel resilient when you tackle different things.

Our press is the most disgusting in the world.

Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor's trade.

You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.

The writing is the springboard for your intuitive stuff and then you see, maybe a colour of what you want to achieve. Then you bring in the technique you've learnt. But when you're on film, you're not always in control of that. That's what makes me believe in a kind of collective unconscious, a sort of experience you draw on.
