“I had this extraordinarily bizarre moment when, two Fridays ago, my missus gave birth to our second child at 11am and by the same time the following day I was sitting around a table with Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio in Rabat in Morocco, rehearsing a scene we were going to shoot the next day.”

“The idea of transformation - playing something I'm not - is the bit I enjoy most about acting.”

“My genes are such that I've always been relatively in shape.”

“My mother always tells this story: The day she gave birth to me, she looked down and said, 'Oh, yay. I got a gay one.'”

“Between our birth and death we may touch understanding, As a moth brushes a window with its wing.”

“I think birth and motherhood are not things that you're trained to do. You might have a good example in your own mum, but nobody teaches you how to be a really great mum.”
