I Always Try To Describe Making Movies

Up There On The Screen, We Can All Fly. But Down Here On Earth, We Need To Be Each Others Wings.

I Have This Horrific Thing Where I'm Really Bad With Names And Faces. I Have An Appalling Memory. Someone Will Come Up To Me In The Street And Go, 'eddie!', And I'll Try And Give Myself Time By Going Into Overdrive, 'hey, Hi! Nice To See You!' And Start A Whole Conversation Because I Can't Distinguish Between Who I Know And Who I Don't.

I Love The Variety Of Films. In Theater, You Go Into A Room And The Director Runs The Room, So You All Work To His Or Her Method. On Film, If An Actor Or An Actress Is In For A Day Or Two, The Director Has To Get Out Of That Actor What They Need, So They Have To Change And Adapt To That Actor's Technique.

I'm Fully Aware That I Am A Lucky, Lucky Man. This Oscar Belongs To All Of Those People Around The World Battling Als. It Belongs To One Exceptional Family, And I Will Be It's Custodian And I Promise You That I Will Polish Him, And Wait On Him Hand And Foot.

A Lot Of People Think Theatre Must Be Much Harder Work Than Film, But Anything Histrionic Or Superfluous Gets Seen On Camera So You Have To Work To Distil It Into A Complete Sense Of What's True.
