I hope I inspire children to make films.

When I wear jeans I want to look like a man, not a child.

You don't want your children to look at you like you are anything special other than their dad.
christmas children gone-away
I've always loved Christmas and that's not really gone away from me from being a child to now. It's always a magical time and I'm unashamed in my love for Christmas.
love
I love eating. I mean, I really, really love eating.
ourselves pat subtle
In London we give ourselves a pat on the back, rightly, for not killing one another, for our prejudice being subtle rather than lethal.
few improvised literally people start
I know very few people who have literally improvised a film from start to finish.
I'm quite a disciplinarian: I can be a shouter. But I can be a very demonstrative kisser and hugger.
art best exciting fantastic pieces whether
The best of American television is thought-provoking, original, brilliant, exciting - from 'The Sopranos' on, whether it's 'The Wire' or 'Breaking Bad' or 'House of Cards,' they're fantastic pieces of art.
life
I'm not particularly affable in real life, I have to tell you. I've got that side to me, of course, but that's not all I am.
aesthetic face point
I like anything with my face on it, just from an aesthetic point of view.
cast mainly played
I have played nasty people, but not everyone has seen that stuff. Before 'The Office,' I mainly got cast as little toe-rags.
great pragmatic view
I'm afraid I don't have a very pragmatic or unromantic view of props. I don't imbue them with any great sense of mystery or anything.
