Throw your children in the surf and let them get used to it. They have to learn all about rips and tides and swimming between the flags and all that sort of stuff. I know that sounds ridiculous but it's true.
I guess I'm a very keen observer, and I'd like to think I have a good imagination.
I hate being clean-shaven. My daughter gets very upset if I shave and says, 'Bring back the spikes, Dad.'
I like the unknown. I like mystery.
I'd say I'm the opposite of someone that has the urge to stand in front of strangers and make them laugh, but the idea of getting up and telling a story and people finding it amusing always appealed to me.
I have a theory that I really want my kids to know - the only coloration that they make between dad being in films and reality is just a lot of people doing a lot of hard work.
It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.
My wife and I really, really like each other as well as love each other.
Technically speaking, you can build anything out of sand; it doesn't mean you do it.
I never really think much about the size of a production because I think as an actor, once you're in it, it's all the same. I never ever pick projects based on their size.
The longer you have something, the stronger the bond. That's true with people as well as things.
The more I love the character, the harder it is to get it wrong. I have to get to a point that I can speak for them.
The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious.
If I read something and I love it, I'll do it and I don't even ask what the budget is.
