I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege.

I am comfortable playing the fool, I think.

I think if actors don't think of themselves as funny in real life they think they can't do comedy.

I don't really see the point in making a film unless you can think of a good reason to do it.
