It was a life-changing experience for every one of us who went, ... I had to make myself at home there, because Tessa felt most at home there. We shot in places like London, as well, which were closer to my experience. But the film benefits most from the fact that Fernando, because of his previous work, was plainly more at home in the slums than those alien houses of government, the fancy sets. That shows up on the screen, and it makes the film work.

It did feel different -- definitely just freer than I've ever felt before. [That's] the way in which Fernando works: low-tech, low-bureaucracy, no technical constraints.

I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn't care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. They don't like people. It's not at all like the relationship between horses and humans.

Right now I'm just really excited that the movie is coming out. I'm really proud of it. I'm so deeply proud of the work and the movie and all aspects of it. There's the fact that it's a really exciting thriller. The fact that it's a very useful, very original, very unusual love story and the fact that it has a conscience,

We thought we would just feel sorry for these people, and that would have been patronizing, ... They had great material poverty but great spiritual wealth, it seemed to me.

My performances tend to be a little bit off-centre, whatever that means.

I thought it was fantastic, very dramatic, very sexy.

You make me laugh so hard that I actually pee in my knickers.

She can be infuriating. [Fernando] didn't want her to be this Mother Theresa/angel character, ... She's a flawed human being just like the rest of us. But she is someone who is willing to stand up and believe what she believes to be right and doesn't mind making enemies along the way.

There are so many films I'd love to do, ... And I'd really love the chance to work with Jim Sheridan. What a big heart he has.

I guess, coming from England ... Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman, they're your country's big stars, and in England, they're even more so. I mean, they star on the American screen. These are huge American icons. I think that what John was saying about Dustin, he works harder than anyone that I've ever seen. He cares so deeply about what he's doing. His passion is tremendous and he still get scared. I still get scared. I was terrified working with these guys and he told me, 'I still get scared myself,' and I think that's what keeps an actor good, and Gene has this incredible power. You can sense that he's doing nothing, it's so simple what he's doing, and he has this thing going on inside him. It's a smoldering power, and he comes in and does his job, he's very chivalrous, very polite. Then John, I've been a massive fan of John since I can remember. It was a genuine honor to work with him. I feel like I was better when I got to work with him. He has this unbelievable charm and a lightness of touch which is so brilliant for his character on this jury. No one suspects that he's up to anything. He sort of makes everything feel light and charming, but he has this other side as his character. I think that he has a huge intelligence, a profound intelligence. He's just an unbelievable combination, that wit and charm.

I'm not that person, ... I'm a storyteller. I'm an entertainer. I'm an actor. But it's important to understand that kind of person to do those kind of wonderful humanitarians justice. I really tried to get into their skin. I met people in Africa out in the field who possess that kind of dedication. I tried to absorb who they were in order to understand them and hopefully portray that kind of passion and commitment in my performance.

Where the kids keep coming up to us and greeting us, that wasn't in the script, ... That was just a few of us -- Fernando, an assistant and a cameraman -- walking around with a hand-held camera. That's more documentary and reportage than feature filmmaking.

I think mystery is kind of great. I don't know anything about Bette Davis or Katharine Hepburn or Ava Gardner -- not really -- and I like that. I love watching their movies because they're my personal movie stars. I don't know what they eat and who their trainer is.

I think Tessa feels maternal to all the people of Africa. She feels they are all her family,

We were in a real place, and what happened happened.

It's very difficult to find really good writing for women, ... There's usually only one adjective for women in a script: 'strong' or 'sexy.' [Tessa] is a woman of many things: flawed, very real, goes too far.

I think you can tell there's a lot of passion in that movie.

great. He's intense. He gets pretty intense performances from his characters. He gets you to be very raw and exposed.

These things that you see are not sets. It's the real shantytown, the real maternity hospital, the real Africa, ... The Mummy.
