I’d like to see Obama naked. …Someone told me that they worked out with him in a gym in Chicago, and it was big.

I think directing in a team is a really good idea because it stops the cult of the director as God straight away, and also you`re discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone who supports you when you`re feeling a bit insecure.

Kids are more genuine. When they come up and want to talk to you, they don`t have an agenda. It`s more endearing and less piercing to your aura.

I love a film where I get squished by two Dumpsters or I fly through the air.

Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you`ve done more dramatic projects or you`re classically trained.
