Quote

I wrote 'Mud' for Matthew McConaughey and had never met him.

I don't like to talk about that McCanles affair. It gives me a queer shiver whenever I think of it, and sometimes I dream about it and wake up in a cold sweat.

I love Shirley Maclaine. Love that woman.

I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine.

You only live once, except for Shirley MacLaine.

I met Patti LuPone and Elaine Paige in a party. I didn't speak too much with Patti, but she was lovely with me.

I had a fiery affair with George Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd.

My life changed in 2005 on the day I met my wife, Tamzin. She was in a play called 'Breathing Corpses' with James McAvoy, one of my best mates from drama school. I knew who she was, and I'd fancied her quite a bit when she played Melanie Owen in 'EastEnders.'
