  • Shooting is 99 per cent luck and one per cent training

  • I've never had formal drama-school training; I've just picked things up as I've gone along.

  • To exercise at or near capacity is the best way I know of reaching a true introspective state. If you do it right, it can open all kinds of inner doors.

  • I learnt just how little it takes to survive, which is why I don’t waste things – food, money, friendships or opportunities.

  • I will not waste time on second thoughts. My life will not be an apology. It will be a statement.
