I Always Think Of Comedy

Ladies And Babies, And Mortgages, For That Matter, Can All Wait. Acting Has Done A Strange Thing To Me, Though. I Often Sit There, Thinking, 'i Love This, But I Wouldn't Put My Daughter On The Stage.'

My First Film, 'like Minds,' Was With Toni Colette, Who Was Extraordinary. I Mean It Was Basically A Mini-masterclass For Acting On Film At A Time When All You Could Probably See Were My Eyebrows Bouncing Up And Down On Screen.

If You're An English Actor And Turn Up In America, They Don't Have An Opinion About Where You Sit. They Have No Idea What Auditions To Send You To, So They Send You To Everything.

I Always Think Of Comedy As Being Spontaneous, And Yet Everything About Filmmaking Is Not Spontaneous.

Listen, Acting Is Not Surgery, It's Entertainment. You're Doing Something To Hopefully Move People, To Make Them Laugh, To Transport Them. But Actors Are Vulnerable, And The Reason We're Vulnerable Is That We're Always Trying To Recreate Human Behaviour.
