As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn’t very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world.

For me, I felt bad for people asking the questions, cause you know their boss sent them out saying, ‘Get me something on Mission Impossible.’ And you ask the question, and it’s just a polite, ‘I’m not going to tell you.’ Then, every so often, they’d go, ‘Well, can’t you just tell us a little bit?’ I have to say, ‘You know what guys, I’m under contract and I’m not going to tell you anything.’ So you keep asking the questions and I’m just going to keep smiling. And it’s hard, cause I don’t want to seem rude, but it’s part of my job just like it’s part of their job to keep a secret.

I could sing and play as well. I’ve got some brothers; one of them is the drummer in the band. They’re good musicians. I play for fun. They play properly. Music in general, I grew up in a house of musicians. Everybody’s life has a soundtrack, I’m sitting here talking to you but there are horns beeping outside. I know I’m in New York. That’s an element in the film as well. How strong that sense can be.
