I've never been one who agonizes over my work.
So, no, I'm not trying to crack into Hollywood, although I'll make films there if they're good scripts.
I think the script is the key. Regardless of how great everybody else is working on a film, if you're working on a script that you don't think is great, you're not gonna be able to make a great film. Whereas if the script is great, then you can.
Sometimes I feel like doing smaller budget stuff. When I did 'Young Adam', for instance, I'd come out of 'Black Hawk Down' and 'The Island', and I really wanted to be on a small film set. I wanted to be on something intimate and small again, and then 'Young Adam' cropped up in a pile of scripts I was sent.
I find politicians so desperately boring. I don't trust them and don't believe in them.
I don't think having separate bathrooms is a key to a successful marriage, if you love one another.
I'm lucky enough that financially I don't have to feel obliged to go for the bigger stuff. I like the stories and scripts to dictate if I want to do them.
I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something - that solitary existence.
