And I particularly like the whole thing of being boss. Boss and employee... It's the slave quality that I find very alluring.

My whole history of being an actor is unusual and slightly disgraceful because it should be something you burn to do.

Strangely enough I'm better on a stage. I love that I feel like I blossom in front of a whole bunch of people.

It's very true that you can be both selfless and selfish at the same time. What we tend towards, particularly in filmmaking, is this binary sort of, 'This is a good guy, this is a bad guy.' And I quite like the fact that life is a bit more complex than that.

I think that's the whole point of Bridget Jones. It's all about that it's okay to fail.

It was a little surprising at first to learn that a former student is going to become your 'boss,' but from what we knew of Jerry we were never concerned here in the middle school.
