A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.

I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.

I always go into a film situation depressed and fearful.

There was a point of frustration, where I thought I should just take a film, even though I didn't want to. I was impatient with being at home. But I hung on to the approach I've always had, which is to wait for a project that I could contribute something unique to.

One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night, and knowing you can't do anything to your performance once you've laid it on film.

And although I've been very fortunate in the film work that's come my way, I need to get back to the stage. If I'm away for a maximum of two years, I feel something's wrong.

I get quite fed up being on a film set day after day, six days a week. It can get to be a grind.

You have twenty-one days to shoot a whole movie and sometimes you go into that thinking 'ugh, this could potentially be really, really difficult' and it turns out to be the most incredible experience.

I don't envy the job of people who have to watch five movies a day - that's insane.

It's hard to make a good movie in four weeks. It's hard. I've done it, but it's not easy.
