A lot of actors talk about doing their homework, but very few of them do it.
I make a movie because it's something that inspires me.
Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because were from North England.
I've had a love affair with every movie I've ever done.
I always get everyone prepared so there aren't so many arguments on set. I have a policy that the first thing I do in the morning is go over to the trailers and discuss exactly what we're shooting that day. It's time-consuming but it reduces the chances of 'misunderstandings' on set.
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.
