It wasn't a good idea to work on 'Naked' in the first months of a marriage. I was living apart from my wife in a flat overflowing with books I was reading for the part.

Before Anna, I'd had a few relationships and I'm glad I've been around a bit. I know where it's gone wrong or know who are the wrong people for me and who I might be wrong for.

What is truth? What is a true story? Who is telling the truth, and what is truth in this world today?
David Thewlis -
I got hooked to American news like a great TV season. It plays like fiction. I would come home from work, and I would put it on, and I would stay up until 2 in the morning watching it and get up in the morning and watch it.
David Thewlis -
The whole question of 'What is truth?' seemed to be the theme of Trump's presidency.
David Thewlis -
In the prepping for 'Azkaban,' I read 'Azkaban' and 'Goblet of Fire.'
David Thewlis -
The making of 'Naked' was an absolutely phenomenal, mind-bending experience. That film was life-changing and put my career onto a whole different level.
David Thewlis -
I was a young actor in my 20s, going out in Soho, having a wild time.

We didn't need the Internet for Nazi Germany to happen. But I feel like there's this lack of humanity because of it.
David Thewlis -
It's not my ambition to direct lots of films. I think if I direct one film in my whole life, why rush it?
David Thewlis -
It's a bit odd to have a daughter who sounds American.
David Thewlis -
It was so boring, and 'Dragonheart' was so unchallenging - there was no research involved or any rehearsal. So I was in my hotel room every night with no English-language TV except 'Beavis and Butt-head' at 10 o'clock every night.
David Thewlis -
'Naked' propelled me into a whole other league. America started calling. I went over to Los Angeles and met all those people, and I started doing a few American films of various levels of quality.
David Thewlis -
I've realized over the years I either play very good people or very bad people, and I think I always enjoy the very bad people more.

And it was only released in London last week, so when I go back to England Monday or whatever, I am expecting heaps of adulation. I'm hoping there is. If that doesn't happen I will be disappointed.
David Thewlis -
I've always tended to write comedy, but I'd hate to just write some kind of sitcom or a lighthearted series of jokes and slapstick. I wanted to talk about some deeper things within the comedy.
David Thewlis -
I like time off. I'm not a workaholic.
David Thewlis -
That's one of the main things I've learned: honesty is paramount. The biggest thing I try and instil in my daughter. My deepest regrets have been to do with times that I've been dishonest. There's nothing worse than getting caught out in a lie. It's excruciatingly embarrassing.
David Thewlis -
I don't think Alfonso was a big expert on Potter either. He was feeling his way through it more than I was.
David Thewlis -
I could, of course, have written about the film world and the jealousy there and the frequent belief that others don't have talent. But, for some reason, it just struck me to write about art.

I really like Los Angeles. I like the weather, the openness of it, the beach, the mountains, the desert. I find it inspiring. I get quite a lot of writing done out there.
David Thewlis -
I wanted to do 'Fargo' rather than do a TV production. I've been offered TV things over the years, but usually, that's about that I don't want to be away from home for that long because it's a long time to be away your home country and my family.
David Thewlis -
I'm not one of those people who's against doing remakes.
David Thewlis -
I don't think its good for the soul to invest too much of yourself in technology.
