I was not quite as gracious as Mark Darcy about wearing what my mother tried to make me wear. It tended to stop really, when I was quite young.
I want to say, strenuously, that although I have never considered the Darcy thing to be a problem, that is simply not going to happen.
All we can do is hope and pray - on suggestions Hugh Grant will retire soon
They're not bombarding me with offers, although the ones that have come along have been too preposterous to contemplate, so it's not as if I spend every day resisting $20 million pay cheques.
Some people would say comedy draws from some dark places, from your dark stuff. Life's great optimists aren't necessarily the funniest people.
If you don't mind haunting the margins, I think there is more freedom there.
I don't want to sound smug but I am reasonably satisfied with how it's gone. I think it's fine.
We all know the dangers of sequels. Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place too often, and I think you've got to move beyond it, go the extra mile and have the courage not to just repeat the first one.
It's an Atom Egoyan movie, ... We know he's not the world's great pornographer. It's hard to quantify what kind of damage (the rating) will have done.
I often think it can often be very difficult for comedians to revisit the same gag. I think Russell's a bit more than a comedian.
It's entirely to do with personality, I think. There are good directors who talk a lot, bad directors who talk a lot, and good directors who don't say much and vice-versa. It just depends on whether people respond to that personality and whether people have a willingness to do something for them.
And I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.
