To Be Able To Do This Job

I Think Filmmaking Should Be A Wonderfully Free Collaborative Process, And It So Very Rarely Is. I Often See Directors As Jailers Of My Talent.

The Work I Enjoy Is When The Camera Rolls, And I Like The Work In The Moment.

I Grew Up In Deptford In South London, And At That Time I Used To Wear Toppers, Loon Pants And Tonic Suits From Shops Like Take 6 And Topman. I Was A Bit Of A Soul Boy, But I Had A Very Eclectic Taste In Music - I Was Into James Brown And Bowie; And I Was The Only Kid In The Neighbourhood Who Would Also Be Listening To Chopin.

Any Actor Who Tells You That They Have Become The People They Play, Unless They’re Clearly Diagnosed As A Schizophrenic, Is Bullshitting You.

My Big Love Was The Beatles. I Was More Into Music.
