I was brought up Catholic. I'm lapsed. From the age of three I was with the nuns. Now I'm an atheist.

It's weird, because usually if you're British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies in America.

You'll still work with some directors where that doesn't happen, and sometimes it's out of necessity because you're in a really complicated, choreographed fight scene and the whole thing is being prevised in a computer, so it's been decided months before, but I think that's sneaking into the way action scenes are shot.

I realized that this story [Shelter] is all about family, family loss, and how it influences you day to day life.

I find that our response to homelessness really puzzlingly. It's a peculiar response that people have.

I have an interest in giving people a cathartic experience, and making them look at homeless people differently, and making them question how they judge people, in general.

I feel safe in saying this, and that is that Peter Weir is without a doubt one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. I'd open a door in a movie for him if he asked me to.
