I like fixing things.

Anthony Hopkins says you just keep acting. Do it all the time and eventually it will happen. He got his break, after all, by taking a role nobody else wanted. A cannibal!

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

You finish a movie and you think, there, you've done it, really well, or best you can. But if you watch it, you see it was just bollocks.

Unless you are an enormous name, you never stop auditioning.

If you're doing well, you're a target, nobody's interested in you except how you can be of use to them.

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.
