For such an unhappy man, he marries amazing women. Did you have a hand in casting?

I was auditioning these women, and they said, "Oh, yeah, there's this woman Rosamund Pike we're thinking about," and I said, "What do you mean, 'Oh, yeah, there's this woman'? Just cast her!" I have a mad crush on her and have been weirdly obsessed with her for 10 years since I saw her in James Bond ("Die Another Day"). I've gone to England to see her plays. I don't have this thing where I'm dying to work with a lot of people, but she's one of them.
