What Takes Us Back To The Past

I Find What I Call The [bleep] Side Of The Industry Very Difficult. You Won't See Me At Other Peoples' Premiers. I Mean, I Go To My Own Premiers Because I Have To Help My Film, But I Don't Enjoy That Whole Side Of It. I Don't Enjoy Celebrityhood. I Love Getting A Seat In A Restaurant. I Love It When People Say Hi When I Don't Know Them. I Mean, That's Fine, But Apart From That, I Like The Elements Of Celebrityhood Which Make Living In The World Like Living In Your Own Village.

What I Try To Do As An Actor Is Constantly Find That, Find Ways To Risk, Find Opportunities To Fall On My Face If It's Going To Be Worth It, And Then Maybe I'll Surprise Myself.

I Envy Children Who Know That They're Going To Become Doctors, Know They're Going To Go Into The Forces Or Whatever. I Think Choice Is One Of The Hardest Things, But That's What I Try To Give My Children, To Say You Can Do Anything.

I've Always Thought Of Characters Like Advent Calendars. You Have Christmas And You Have All The Little Doors Over The Windows And Every Day You're Allowed To Open One More As It Gets Towards Christmas And You See More And More About What's Inside That House.i Remember As A Kid Being Fascinated By That And I've Always Thought Of My Character As A Little Bit Like That. I Like To Have Secrets And Slowly Let Those Secrets Out To The Audience, Sometimes Never Let Them Out, But Let Them See As You Open The Shutters, Open And See A Little Bit More Of A Character.

We All Have Our Time Machines, Don't We. Those That Take Us Back Are Memories...and Those That Carry Us Forward, Are Dreams.
