Very often on films, even without a producer credit, I'll be involved, very early on. I want to be there as the thing is taking shape.

Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.

One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.

I have a problem with a lot of men's fragrances because they are very strong. Somebody somewhere thinks that masculine means powerful smells, and I find them overbearing and not very pleasant.
