Even on a $100 million film, people will complain that they haven't got enough money and enough time, so that's always going to be an element in filmmaking.

Going out there and promoting myself socially doesn't really intrigue me. I'd much rather have my work do it for me.

I don't know if my sense of humor goes over Americans' heads.

My life is very much consumed with work.

I'm not one of those actors who asks for too many favours. So when I do, people tend to listen.

My mum is about five foot with her hair done. Without it she's about four foot 10.

I used to get a sort of sociophobia, and I still get it sometimes these days when I'm in a confined space with too many people. It's not like I freak out or anything, it's just that I'm far more comfortable in my own company sometimes than being surrounded by one thousand strangers.
