When you do bigger films, the financiers take more risks.

I'm doing a Dylan Thomas film, Map of Love, with Mick Jagger producing again. It's a wonderful script.
nice hands development
I got involved in script development from the beginning. It was nice to see how a film gets made right from the beginning. It was quite hands-on for me.
dry documentaries film
You're making a movie, not a documentary. If you made a film like the historians would like you to make, you're not going to go and see it. I'd rather see paint dry.

In terms of jumping into a character's skin, I try to immerse myself in the role as much as possible to bring me closer to them. All I do is what's required to achieve what I want to achieve.
jumping way would-be
I just love jumping into someone else's life. It is a relatively cheap way to experience things you would be too scared to contemplate in your own life.

I tend to do golf charity things because it's much safer and you don't get much chance of a broken arm or leg.
