A lot of people think theatre must be much harder work than film, but anything histrionic or superfluous gets seen on camera so you have to work to distil it into a complete sense of what's true.

I'm one of those people, when I see a film, I believe it to be true. You know, sort of the authenticity of the camera and seeing things on a screen.

Actors are actors, and there should be a complete fluidity for anyone to play anything.

There's something scary about acting always, because basically you do all this work in a vacuum, and then suddenly there's a lot of money spent making a film, and there's suddenly a camera here, going, 'Right? What are you gonna do?'

As someone who gets nervous in silences, I spill words rather than really think.

When you're doing a film that has so many effects, you do a lot of it on green screen, and you can't see what that world is.
