I've really grown to love film, but I think occasionally you need to get up on a stage and see what's going on.

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

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

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.

When you do a play, you have the kind of nightly feeling of accomplishment. But you also have the daily dread of the doing it every night. And because you're doing the whole thing every day, it's like climbing up the mountain every single night. With a movie it's like climbing the mountain very slowly, over months of filming.

I think movie sets can often be stressful, and people take themselves very seriously.

A lot of movies you do because they're fun, they make people forget about their day.

Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.

When it's good, cinema can be one of the most important things in a person's life. A film can be a catalyst for change. You witness this and it is an incredibly spiritual experience that I'd never lived before; well, maybe only in a football match.
