One of my biggest disappointments is watching the trailer for the second Lord of the Rings film and having Gandalf in it. Why? He died in the first one, why give it away in the trailer just to try and sell 1000 more seats? It's daft.

I think some people see me as being some kind of lovable, bumbling buffoon, and I'm actually quite mouthy and sharp, and that doesn't compute.

It's nice to have someone write a couture character for you.

The fight scenes in 'The World's End' have a certain balletic quality to them.

Someone once pulled me aside and said it was all right to succeed, and I realised that I knew what failure felt like, but I didn't know what success felt like. I've carried that with me ever since.

I would agree Paul is a sci-fi genre movie. And a road movie.

There's a difference between watching a film and watching a bit of cinema and enjoying a film as a piece of cinema.
