I've never been that bothered about doing stage or television. I just love doing films. With theatre, it goes on night after night.

I really like Los Angeles. I like the weather, the openness of it, the beach, the mountains, the desert. I find it inspiring. I get quite a lot of writing done out there.

No matter what one looks at and finds temporarily pleasing, it can never be as beautiful as just a tree, really.

I like time off. I'm not a workaholic.

The whole question of 'What is truth?' seemed to be the theme of Trump's presidency.

I'm much more Buddhist. I mean, I'm not a Buddhist. I should be so lucky to be a Buddhist, a real Buddhist, but of all the things I investigated, that seems to make the most sense to me.

I had no idea how one became an actor. I didn't know things such as drama schools existed. It all just sort of happened accidentally.

'Naked' propelled me into a whole other league. America started calling. I went over to Los Angeles and met all those people, and I started doing a few American films of various levels of quality.

What is truth? What is a true story? Who is telling the truth, and what is truth in this world today?

I was interested in the idea of celebrity... some very untalented people getting very successful and making a lot of money for not a lot of work, sometimes.
