Be your own artist, and always be confident in what youre doing. If youre not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.

It's not so important to me where I work. A lot of good writers and directors and actors come out of Hollywood, so obviously it would be great to work there, but there's some great stuff coming out of Britain, so I'm going to see what comes from all angles.
It's great working with great writers and directors because you're getting paid for something you love and want to do.
