The most contemporary film I can think of is your standard romantic comedy, but the minute you make them, they already look so aged.

I was quite solitary for 'Hitman.' I was quite apart. He struck me as a very sad individual. There was a mournful quality there.

It's an imaginative thing we do; it's about immersing oneself in one's imagination. If you're a novelist, you do it with pen and paper. We do it with our bodies.

I'm a big fan of imagination. I think it's the strongest tool we have, and there are some things that you just can't practice.

All I would say is that when I've been very down or having kind of a tough time in my life, certain films or pieces of music or books have changed that. They've taken me out of a dark place and put me into a more positive one. And I think that if we can do that for people, then it's certainly worth doing.

I don't think you can decide how famous or not you become.
