I wasnt a model schoolboy. Of course, I was forced to sit through Shakespeare and I really got into some of it, though it depended on who was reading it out.

I'm in a position where I'm being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don't know who I am.

Im hoping that a lifetime of compromise and disappointment will read as extra depth and layers in my work.

My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son's perspective.
