dreading films mean pathetic plane thinking yesterday
I was thinking on the plane yesterday how pathetic it is to be dreading the read-through after 25 films and 18 years of acting. I mean real terror.
thinking actors next
When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next.
thinking often-is interesting
Most actors really love it, that's what they want to do. They burn to do it. And so they'll read a script and think, that's an interesting part. And because they love acting, that blinds them to the fact that the rest of it is pretentious nonsense, which it very often is.
technology thinking firsts
For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.
dark emotional thinking
I don't think there's much point in putting me a deep, dark, heavy, emotional film because there are people who do it so much better than I do.
thinking failing bridget-jones
I think that's the whole point of Bridget Jones. It's all about that it's okay to fail.
five longer luck trend
When you do this for five years in a row, it's no longer luck. It's a trend line.
cleaner fancy intrigues
Well, you know I have an office, my film offices. So I know that syndrome. I fancy offices, so there must be something wrong with me. Even the window cleaner intrigues me. It's a very sexy environment.
keen neither
Neither Elizabeth or I are keen to do a real-life couple on the screen. It's not very electric.
bit good marvelous maybe rather
I have no doubt that I'd be a marvelous father. Maybe not when they're tiny, but when they're a little bit older, I think I'd be rather good.
acting fact films less proud quite
I'm quite proud of some of the films I've done, but less for the acting than for the fact that they're unpretentious and entertaining. I'm proud of having made unpretentious choices.
ended fan limited mostly range romantic
As it is, I have a limited range as an actor - light comedy. I have never been a fan of romantic comedies, and yet that is what I have ended up mostly doing.
drunken movies opening relaxing spent time whatever
With 2 movies opening this summer, I have no relaxing time at all. Whatever I have is spent in a drunken stupor.
chronic
I'm such a chronic relativist, I can't hold down a strong opinion about many things long enough.
