Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.

I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.

So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.

Older people say, 'Oh I loved you in 'Sense and Sensibility,'' and that's the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about 'Galaxy Quest.' And there's a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about 'Dogma.'

I approach every part I'm asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn't get it, or if he does?

The first time that I came to New York to work properly was the mid-'80s, but I was doing eight shows a week. You have no life. Going to a punk rock club - or whatever the music was at that time - would not have been on my agenda.

I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.

Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.

Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.

I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.

I like it when stories are left open.

Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.

I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.

A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
