The first role I ever did... I played a Nazi skinhead.

A good part of why I never went back to England was part of that, I didn't want to be in those sort of flowery films. But I think it's a nice change of pace-I don't know how long it'll go for. There will always be the Merchant-Ivory/Kenneth Branagh movies, but there's something else now-really, it's always been there but the Americans getting to see it makes all the difference.

I miss my family, and I like being a tourist when I go back.

The better the writing, the easier it gets.

I believe there is also a Tim Roth Monastery.

I like the idea of experimenting with different kinds of formats, and I think you've got to keep on your toes and keep changing.

You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction', and it goes right in the bin.
