“I always find that when people ask about, “You did The Queen, why’d you go off and do this stuff about vampires?” there’s a huge snobbishness, an intellectual sort of snobbery about genres. All these things are stories, that’s all they are; they’re not documentaries, they’re not real. Just because it’s Frost/Nixon or whatever, it’s not real, it’s just a story, and all these characters are are components in a story. And they’re all telling a journey, all it is is about going on a journey.”

“When I was 12, I got offered the possibility of going to play for Arsenal, the youth team,” revealed Sheen. “I lived in a small town in Wales and it would’ve meant my whole family having to go and live in London so my dad said, ‘No. If you’re still interested when you’re 16, then you can go then.’ But it’s too late when you’re 16. You have to go when you’re much younger. And also I was into other thing by then, like girls, drinking and acting.”
