I used to be able to be in England and just be fine. No one had any idea who I was.I get a lot more abuse in England.

If you're happy all of the time, it's difficult to acknowledge when you actually are happy.

Since the day I finished shooting there's been at least one person come up to me every single day and then after the trailer came out, at least four. It's absolutely bizarre to me. This was before there was any systematic promotion of the movie. It's just completely nuts.

All of my favourite actors are American and I grew up watching American movies. It's weird, but I used to do a New Jersey accent in every audition in the States just because I liked to do it, really. It's completely bizarre. Everybody would ask: 'Where are you from?' And I would say, 'Oh, I'm from London.'

I actually quite like working with kids and I like working with animals, which is what everybody says you shouldn't do, because it makes you feel like you're not acting.

I'm a lucky person. Thank God. And I'm conflicted. Thank God.

When I was flying to Rome, we flew over London; I felt like bursting into tears. It's part of me, so I can't leave London behind for good.
