I Love Acting. I Really Do. I

I'm Very Old-school. I Like A Director To Direct Me. I Like To Be The Actor. I'm Not Particularly Fond Of The Hybrid Writer-director, Or Actor-director. Writers, Directors, Actors Are All Such Very Different People. I Think It's Unusual That Two Of Those People Are In One Human.

The Director Is The Captain Of The Ship, Without Question. No Matter What Their Talent Or Energy Level Is, Everyone On The Crew Has All Eyes On The Captain. If They Come In Going, "i Don't Know. Maybe We'll Do This. Maybe We'll Do That," You've Got 10 Days To Shoot And They Don't Care What You're Doing.

I Am A Smoker, I'm Ashamed To Say. I Had Given It Up For Many Years, Then Picked It Up Again. It's A Horrible Habit. I Struggle With Myself All The Time. And I Love To Smoke. An Actor Has To Be Very, Very Careful, As One Of The Most Wonderful Props - And Actors Love Props - Is A Cigarette. There's So Much To Do With It: You Can Bring It Up To Your Face, Play With The Smoke. It's Just The Greatest - Ever Since I Was 16 And In Acting School In England, I've Been Playing Around With Cigarettes.

I Was Really Not Familiar At All With Edward Snowden. I Like To Get That Right Out Of The Way And Really Learned Most Of What I Know From Oliver's [stones] Script.
