I don't see the world in sexual divisions.
Philip is being very vocal about it. For me, I don't think the story isn't at all anti-religious in any way. I think what's it more against is the control and the misuse of power that any organised religion, or any political organisation exercises over the people they're supposed to represent. I think that, for me, is what's important in the movie.
He knows that you have ability and what he does is he manipulates it and sort of empowers you.
I'm definitely not satisfied about my career. I don't know how you can be, it's the very nature of things.
I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.
I watched every single Bond movie three or four times, taking in everything I could about how the character had been portrayed in the past, then threw all that away once I started doing the role.
I guess you could say I've been in my share of violent movies.
There is also a distinct possibility that there are other actors ? whose names have not leaked to the press ? who may stand just as good a chance of landing the part.
What I like about Layer Cake is its intelligent through-line. First of all, I think it's very close to the truth; I think this is what successful drug dealers are like. They don't drive around in flashy cars, they don't show off, they behave very quietly, they get on with their job and they earn lots of money. And it goes up and up and up and up the scale. Secondly - and selfishly - I like the moral aspect of the movie, which is that violence has consequences, and you feel emotionally involved with the violence.
I know what I like in other actors: truth. That's the best. It makes you say, 'OK, I'll go with you on this.'
When you're making movies you've got to get obsessive.
Shakespeare has way too many lines. My ideal theatre piece is about 40 minutes long with no interval.
I'd hate to feel in a comfort zone while I am working. That's not the way I like to do things. I want to be pressurized and challenged every day.
I'm quite good at leaning against a bar.
