Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.

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

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.

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.

Image
I've learned, having been on a lot of sets, the good news is that by definition you are surrounded by experts. They get fired if they're not - unlike in the theatre!

In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.
Alan Rickman
Image
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.

I like it when stories are left open.

If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
