It's always a little nerve-wracking to do a love scene, more than anything because it's just awkward.

Many times, I have heard people saying that they don't like to work with their wife or husband, but to me, it is a plus. To work with somebody you love makes filming faster, more fun.

I think when you get on with the actors that you're working with, even if you do have really intimate scenes, as long as you get on well, and have a bit of a laugh while doing it, then it's fine.

It's always weird doing love scenes. And the thing is, you can't really photograph two people kissing naturally, because then you wouldn't be able to see anything.

Despite the demands of this job, one of the things my wife and I try to do is to spend time together alone. And one of the things we really enjoy doing together is seeing a good movie.

I prefer love scenes to be shot up close with a lot of focus on eyes and mouths. Otherwise it can feel uncomfortable and voyeuristic.

You don't even really get used to doing scenes where you have to kiss, or be particularly intimate, with another person who's not actually your lover in real life.

I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.

You can work with someone who's an amazing actor, and if they hate the role they're doing, it's uncomfortable to watch and uncomfortable to work with. When you're working with someone who loves what they're doing, it's just such a joy.
