The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money.

I think what a lot of action movies lose these days especially the ones that deal with fantasy is you stop caring at some point because you've lost human scale.

The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well after a while you don't get to make any more movies.

I don't really make movies because I want to see my face on a billboard or because I want to get good reviews or have a big box office. That doesn't really matter to me at all.

And you also have to do movies that are about commerce because that's what is required of the industry today.

I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.

I like fantasy. I like horror science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.

I'll probably pursue doing more movies but not horror or movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she's still doing the same thing.

I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.

All my movies got screwed up because of my personality.

I hadn't made a big-budget film and in Hollywood there's a sort of man and boys situation. You're a man you make $80 million movies! As if it's harder to make an $80 million movie. Well I guess businesswise it is because you have more executives to argue with.

I play Xbox. I have a little boy to look after. I have dogs. You know I have things to do. I would love to be able to sit down and watch something like a movie. I watch my own movies because I have to.

I can't watch scary movies right now because living on my own it kind of freaks me out.

I always leave that for other people to decide because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people's favorite movies. And that's what I like so much is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.

I think it's more interesting to see people who don't feel appropriately. I relate to that because sometimes I don't feel anything at all for things I'm supposed to and other times I feel too much. It's not always like it is in the movies.

I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.

I don't want to produce anymore small or independent movies because it's just too hard these days.
