I’m not a successful Hollywood actor. The Hollywood stuff hasn’t come out yet. It might come out and I might be shit.

Hollywood don’t always pay a lot of money. Because we’re English they think we’re cheap! And you haven’t got to be the greediest man in the world. If you want to do something, you go and do it. What’s the point of you being paid a lot of money if you haven’t got the quality of the film? In the long run you’re not doing yourself any favors because you’re going to end up in a piece of shit.

On every job you do, you’ve got to raise your game. My ambition is to just get better and better every job you do – you should never stop trying to get better. You have to teach yourself new things – I don’t think you necessarily learn them from other people because you have your own style of doing things, but hopefully you get better.
