James Gray

I'm just not willing to give up on myself. If I'm going to fail, then I want to fail to the limits of my talent.

If everybody loves you, you must be doing something wrong. It means there's no button being pushed... The only way that everybody loves you is toward the end of your career.

I'm telling you, every film I've ever made has been hated by the U.K. critics.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.

The only thing that I'm obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
