I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.

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.'

Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.

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

Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.

I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.

Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.

With the best intentions, the job of acting can become a display of accumulated bad habits, trapped instincts and blocked energies. Working with the Alexander Technique has given me sightings of another way... Mind and body, work and life together. Real imaginative freedom.

If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.

There's, like, marks next to an actor's name or something, and boy does that go up and down! Somewhere in there, which always causes my mate Miss Ruby Wax great hilarity, I was offered a biopic of Frank Sinatra. Even I knew that was a bad idea! They'll throw anything at you at certain times. So, you know, to thine own self be true.

I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.

When I am asked about influences, I always say I bow down to Fred Astaire, because when you look at him dancing you never look at his extremities, do you? You look at his centre. What you never see is the hours of work that went into the routines, you just see the breathtaking spirit and freedom.

Parts win prizes, not actors.

All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman

I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.

I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.

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

I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.
