I'm sure some people have an absolute grasp of where they are in their careers. I just don't think about it that much.

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.

I was born a Catholic and now I'm a lapsed Catholic. I'm something but I'm not a believer any more.

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.

The only thing I think I can be accused of about paparazzi is being really naive. I didnt think about it coming along with the job and I never, during my three years at drama school, fantasized about one bit of it.

The difficulty of looking at a system like natural selection if you have any sort of moral sense yourself, is almost what makes it beautiful.

In America, they shoot budgets and schedules, and they don't shoot films any more. There's more opportunity in Europe to make films that at least have a purity of intent.
