Apparently, I'm very good at firing a gun without blinking, which is unusual. That's why so many action characters have to wear sunglasses during shoot-out scenes. That's my party trick.

Apparently, I get facials and manicures all the time. I read this and think, 'Oh, I wish I did that!' I don't think I've had a facial since I was 19.

With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.

If I get a script that's set in the jungle it goes to the bottom of the pile because I don't think the playgrounds are going to be very good there! I'm really aware of how lucky I am but I have the kind of job where I can bring my child to work.

I wear sunglasses because of the glare of the spotlights. I wear gloves because it is very cold in the U.K.

I was a very difficult child, and the time I spent reading was about the only peace I gave my mother.
