I like fixing things.

Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.

When I came to England, the first director I met was Charles Sturridge, who told me, 'You speak like somebody out of the 1950s.

I don't think it's the case that 'posh actors' get more work than others.

Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.

Always have an answer - even if you change your mind five minutes later.

I place an enormous premium on loyalty. If someone betrays me, I can forgive them rationally, but emotionally I have found it impossible to do so.
