I Don't Want To Do

I'm Not Called Jude Law, I Have Three Names; I'm Called 'hunk Jude Law' Or 'heartthrob Jude Law'. In England Anyway, That's My Full Name. That's The Cheap Language That's Thrown Around, That Sums You Up In One Little Bracket. It Doesn't Look At Your Life. But If One Looks Beyond, There Is Actually A Little Bit More.

I Feel More And More At Ease, Because I Think The Older I Get, The Less Pressure There Is. People Say, 'well, He's Not Cutting Edge Because He's Not In His Twenties, So He's Not Expected To Be.'

When I Think About It Like That, It Feels Like A Burden. But That Won't Mean I'll Be Single For The Rest Of My Life - I Hope. I Feel Very Settled With Myself In My World. I Don't Feel As Needy And Desperate To Prove Things About Myself. In My Twenties I Was Very Keen To Achieve This And Disprove This And That. Now I Enjoy Just Being Able To Concentrate On My Children And My Work And Myself.

I'm Not Tom Cruise. Very Few British Actors Are. If You Look At The Body Of Work I've Done It's Pretty Obvious I'm Not Going To Make A 'mission: Impossible.'

When You Got Source Material, Whether It's A Play Or A Book - A Great Writer Often Appreciates Being Adapted And Developed. It's Like When You Go See A Production Of A Great Play And They Are Always Different. There Is Always Room For Interpretation.
