I have a short attention span.

I always get role models, people from real life who've lived the lives of the characters, and talk it through together, me, them and the actor, a lot. That helps. We certainly have our disagreements. But in the end we trust each other.

Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because were from North England.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

I've had a love affair with every movie I've ever done.

The hardest scene for me is always the scene when I'm dealing with performances, when I'm actually looking at the guys and hoping that I'm covering it in the right way and that I'm handling it in the right way.

A lot of actors talk about doing their homework, but very few of them do it.
