The world would be a duller place without Moulin Rouge.
character done different
I do always like to do things I haven't done before, so I'm always looking out for things in a different genre, or a different sort of character.

In fact I'd like to go back and live in Shakespeare's London.
character hollywood-films lines
In Hollywood films everything is tidied up at the end with clean lines and clean character definitions. It's sort of unsatisfying.

Other people have a much better idea of what I might do than I.

People smile at me as if they know me. I just smile back. They probably might know me.
book opportunity black
We've all got a black book of missed opportunities.
love strength confidence
I love French films, and European films. They're not any bigger, but there's just a sort of definition, and a confidence, and strength to them. I'd always, given the option, go and see a French drama. Obviously, we probably get the better ones. But they're just sophisticated on many levels, and grown up, and quite profound - and we don't make films like that.
sweet jesus war
Sweet Jesus, war does terrible things to people.
hate hard-times ordinary
I like being able to go to the supermarket and go on the Tube and have an ordinary domestic life. I'd hate to have to protect myself. I'm quite lucky that I can carry on without any intrusions. I don't get given a hard time by anyone.
