Two things revolutionised life: moving to the countryside and falling in love.
In my real life I live in the countryside, I walk a lot, I shoot clay pigeons, I don't get involved in the film business or anything, and then in my cinematic life, I think I am drawn to the dark side.
I don't want to die with regrets. I like living and experiencing and feeling the whole lot.
I do show violence as entertainment. Clearly, I'd be a liar if I said I didn't.
I've got a reputation for doing a certain type of film: lads' movies that glamorise violence. The more my reputation as a bad boy grows, the more my life moves away from that.
