“The genre has got quite serious now.”

If somebody knew every time they did something it was going to be a hit there would never be any failures.

Sadly, that’s not how it works. You take nothing for granted.

Sometimes our motivations can be quite hazy, contradictory and multi-faceted, in real life.

We’re all waiting for the opportunity to do big films but you have to wait your turn – unless you get offered something like Twilight when you’re 20! Otherwise, you just have to keep slogging away.

If someone offers you a three picture deal at 20 you’d take it. I would have killed for it.

Long gone are the days of the stylised old James Bond films with Roger Moore karate chopping his way through the bad guys – audiences are not going to buy it anymore.

I’m kind of glad that I was able to properly grow up before becoming a massive movie star.
