There's very few directors that know what that rehearsal's for. And often it's just about calming down the director. If he could see it or she sees it, she goes oh, it's going to be okay.
I have worked with a lot of great directors but my favorites are all entirely different from one another. They don't go about it the same way.
I love music and I always seem to have a tune in my head.
A million pounds sounds like a lot of money now that I'm saying it. But in terms of moviemaking, it's not a lot of money. And yet you can see what can be done with that, with the talent of a great cinematographer and great director and actors.
I've sort of done a play every four or five years I guess if I look back in my career. And I think that's good.
My wife's French. I mean I speak a bit of French but I've lived amongst French, you know, most of my adult life.
I think you know, to not open your mind to television is silly because there's so much good work happening on television.
I was quite interested to do television series and I started exploring an idea of a longer commitment, a new idea, a new TV show that would've meant a longer commitment but I opened my mind up.
There's something very self-conscious about a writer who's addressing his reader. Don't do that.
I keep waiting to be invited to the hip hop party, I've never been. So if there's anyone out there who is having a hip hop party, I'd like to come.
Don't worry about telling your actor what to do.
When you take the R sound out of French accent, and you just replace it with an R, it sounds Mexican.
I'm not a superhero fan. I don't see those films. I'm not interested.
I'm not really a blockbuster, I'm not a member of that audience really.
My feeling about seeing the world is that its going to change you necessarily, just the very fact of being out there and meeting people from different cultures and different ways of life.
I love skiing, scuba diving and hang-gliding.
From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.
I'm doing my bit for the women's movement. The women have always been naked in movies, and now I'm just desperate to take my clothes off as much as possible.
No, no I'm not, no, but I just think... when people are naked it tells you a lot about their relationships.
I’ve always been really uninterested in politicians and the acts of the Houses of Parliament, or government as an idea. But I’m interested in politics in that I’m a member of the world, and I have strong feelings of right and wrong, but I can’t get into the ins and outs of it.
I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting.
People are incredibly rude about it sometimes. Like "What? You're married?" Strange reaction to have. Proves what people's ideas about marriage are. "We're having a baby." "What?" As if it's the end of the world. Of course, it's the start of a brilliant world.
He`s quite extraordinary with his moves and spins. I think he was a baton girl in a past life [on his co-star Hayden Christensen].
Giving kids whatever they ask for is disastrous parenting. There's no sense of something earned. I'm sorry, but when you're 12, you don't need a new cell phone every few months just because a new one comes out.
I got married because I fell in love with this woman. I had a baby with her because we wanted to have children. But that's not because of some philosophical ideal at all, no.
