I love filming in London. In New York, every street is familiar because you have seen it in a movie. They mythologise their own city.

It just tends to be that the grass is always greener. If I'm doing a movie, I suddenly think, 'Oh God, I wish I could just get a play script I could get my teeth into.'

I was doing a movie, 'Diana,' and I pulled aside the guy who was making the nose for Naomi Watts and said, 'I'm about to do 'Cyrano.'' So he did various Photoshops of different looks that might work.

It doesn't matter how big the set is or how florid the music is: if it doesn't touch people's hearts, then I don't want to be in it. Douglas Hodge bigfloridheart Change image and share on social
