The thing that happens remarkably often is that the people who are writing a dissertation believe they need to speak to me in order to do their dissertation. They need to interview me.

Part of my job is to make the tough calls.

I think that it won't be long before a team calls that says, 'Just go do what you do'.

The bulk of my calls are from agents who are letting you know about material that's coming your way.

It's nice to be number one on the call sheet.

I have enjoyed every call. The ones involving direct contact with people have been most rewarding.

My family has had to become quite understanding about me not returning phone calls when I'm filming.

I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.

There's the pressure of being a No. 1 on the call sheet, being a lead actor. There's almost this feeling like being captain of the team. You want to put a bit of energy into actually setting a good example.

Our officials want nothing more than to be at the top of their professional game and make the correct call. That's what they do; that's their living, that's their pride, that's their joy. They don't achieve that because they happen to be human.
