"But what was sort of really important for me to get, and I think it is there in the final edit, but I certainly was insistent with Lucy (director) that I showed the madness of what's actually happening, which is someone dancing out of rhythm, hardly catching his breath, having just rudderless, directionless chaos. It's actually a nightmare he's living. That in a way was some of the mask work or slips of character... There is joy, there is a sort of fantastical element to it, but it's never safe. There's always a danger to it and he's very vulnerable. All the chaotic behavior around him is also balanced with joy."

"I've had a couple of near-death experiences. The first time i went skydiving was very much a reaction to that, wanting to have a little more control of looking over the edge. And seeing what was involved. And it made me, in a weird way, fearless in a reckless way. But i still like the idea of experiencing life to its full. But you know I have a few people who are dependant on me now. Three little boys and my wife, so, you know... it's not just my apetite for thrill seeking anymore."

"I've had a couple of near death experiences. The first time I went skydiving was very much a reaction to that, wanting to have a little more control. It made me in a weird way fearless- in a reckless way. But I still like the idea of experiencing life to its fullest. I have a few people who are dependent on me now, three little boys. It's not just my appetite for thrill-seeking anymore... Be kind, and be respectful. Those are the key core values I want them to have."
