Edinburgh is so cultural and such a beautiful place to walk around.

The image of all the cars leaving pastel-colored people at the same time has never really left me as an anti-ambition for life!

I don't think the idea of working in Hollywood really exists anymore. I think you work in films, and where the film is shot is where it's shot. The studio system doesn't really exist.

I've never got a part in the same way twice. I've never prepared the same way. I've never experienced the filming the process the same way.

I really admire artists who take the time to recharge their batteries and not continually call on it. I think you can spot tired and jaded artists quite quickly.

It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.

I believe that if you can discover something of the truth of a person, then you will start to understand, and to understand is to move towards, if not like, then at least an empathy of some kind.
