There's nothing I'm particularly keen to hide about my humanity.

It was just me, naked as underneath my clothes right now, as all of you are.

To be honest the work that a producer does is work that I've done for most of my working life. It's work that I started to do, for example, when I worked with Sally Potter on Orlando. We developed it together over five years.

I am the only living person in the English speaking world who didn't have the Narnia books as a child.

I think there's a dishonorable tradition in Hollywood to give the idea, particularly to children, that evil characters are dark.

There's no need there to sit with the filmmaker for 11 years to develop the script, or go round the world raising money.

I'm really interested in the idea of long, long life and transformation and immortality.
