I'm happiest on set because I'm not myself. I'm someone else. The moustache, the dinner jacket. It's not me. You're always this sort of double, and it's liberating. Imagine being stuck with yourself... all those doubts.
As an actor and director, you have to take risks, even though I don't like saying that word. You can make a mistake.
I never think of the completed film, rather the adventure of what I'm about to live.
Its quite pretentious, really, isnt it? The notion the audience is going to be interested in you for an hour and a half. Think too much about that and anxiety takes over.
What matters to me is my own estimation, and Im very tough on myself. I need to be proud of what Ive done and I work hard for it. I had a very Christian upbringing... lots of guilt. A good thing, It keeps you sane.
I think I'm more demanding than any wife.
I can't speak American dog very well. There was a lot of improvisation with Uggie - like when I put the dog on the table or sometimes I follow him, sometimes he follows me.

It was always about the story rather than the character.
Trump loves hate. Trump is afraid. Trump is always wrong.
