What very often happens when people make films about rich people, the camera is quite mesmerised by the opulence and quite theatrical in fact.

Maybe it was my revenge on people who had been unkind to me as a child. But it was very easy and a thrill to freeze up children.

It was an amazing performer. Very temperamental, it spent a lot of time in its trailer.

We were very clear that this film's [Young Adam] so much about a relationship that's borne out through the sexual contact, and that that's the way they communicate.

The problem for me is that I look like so many people in my family, so I can't really see anything. Except I could say that I look rather like my father without his mustache.

We're living in a new Beat time, in my view. And it's very difficult for us to hang on.

I would rather be handsome for an hour than pretty for a week.
