I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.

Certainly coming to America has been extraordinary.

I get invited to an awful lot of Jewish functions.

I believe there is also a Tim Roth Monastery.

There just seems to be more acceptance now of other kinds of British films, than the picture-postcard ones.

I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.

I'd seen musicians act, and it scares me. And they make more money than me.
