I worked so much in my 20s and I really burnt the candle at both ends. I wasn`t too picky about what I did and I was lucky that I did some really good films, but I also did some really rubbish films, I think part of the downside about being so successful and winning the Oscar at the age of 26 is that I sort of became insouciant about the things that I chose. I thought, "Oh, I`ll just try this, it`ll be fun or I`ll do that for the money". Things like that now I would absolutely never do.

- Adrian FitzpatrickI shall curse you with book and bell and candle.
