I'm The Git In The Family.

When I Was Younger, People Used To Say You Only Really Prove Yourself As An Actor On Stage. And I Disagree With That. Some Of The Finest Acting I've Ever Come Across Has Been For Film.

I Always Used To Say To Myself, I'm Going To Die Of Lung Cancer. That's The Choice I'm Making.

No Matter Who The Character Is And How Big Their Role, That Each Person In The Story Is A Human Being And Deserves Respect. Even If They're In The Story For Ten Seconds, I Didn't Want You To Just See Them As This Entity Passing Through That's Serving All Of The Other People.

I Would Never Give Anybody Any Advice About Anything.

Film Is Very Much About Capturing The Essence Of Things - If You Feel It, And You've Got The Right Person Shooting It, It'll Come Across. Theater's A Different Animal; It's Physically Different And Requires A Different Discipline. In The Theater, You're Mining The Same Material, Constantly Honing The Same Thing, Executing It And Keeping It Alive And Fresh.
