I've only ever gone into studio films with people I really like.

There's an alarm bell that goes off in my head if I can sense that I'm making a mistake.

As a performer, I'm constantly fascinated with the idea of being able to know what anybody else's experience is, and how misleading all informatives, like appearance, can be.

Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place.

Years ago, when James Bulger was murdered, every newspaper front page was talking about evil. At that point, having suppressed it for years, I remembered when I was four or five, I tried to kill my own brother.

I'm interested in that whole question of where we wear our identity and how can we see it.

The whole thing of working in collaboration with filmmakers is the thing that I love the most, and possibly the thing I do the best.
