Once you're on the set and shooting, it's all just cinema. You have actors and cameras.

There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.

It is always interesting being on films sets - I have done it before with other actor friends - and I just find it fascinating. I just love that collaborative film family that develops around a project.

A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.

You know how it is, somebody will see your work and like it and remember it, then decide to make it a role in their film.

Ultimately, making movies is a really, really small world. Being on sets and going to the same locations, like shooting in Shreveport, you're always working with somebody from another set that you worked with.

Any filmmaking, any film is a collaborative process. There's always a lot of people working on things together.

I have only recently got interested in film, and it is a strange way of working in many ways. But actually, when it is at its best, it's quite an extraordinary way of working between a director and an actor, to really explore an inner life.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art-it's a fun group activity.
