I say that I played a doorstop in Dune because I remember standing around a lot. I was down there for months.
I can't be under the weight of the character for a 14-hour shooting day. I don't think anybody can do that.
Nothing can prep you for eight years of sex scenes in one day.
It's very easy to divide a long shoot day into 15 or 20 rounds of 'What do I eat next?'
When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 months to a year.
Studio films are really fun. You have months and months to shoot. With the smaller films you get to be on a much more intimate set and have to get things done quickly.
'Spooks' was unique. It took up such a lot of your life - I think we did 10 episodes for the first few seasons. That's six months of your life.
So knowing that you can actually help yourself stay healthy over a long shoot where you get no sleep and what you eat really matters. It really mattered that there was a juice bar. You know?
