When you do bigger films, the financiers take more risks.

You couldn't take football away from me, you couldn't take acting away from me.

Sometimes people say to you that you should try to be in a bigger film, but it's the way it pans out.

Sometimes you just can't walk away from films you're offered, like the Dylan Thomas thing.

It's difficult to get films made, especially films about poets.

I try and do films I know I'm going to enjoy watching as well as being in.
