I never go on the net or the web, or whatever it's called.

When you are in something that you're proud of and it's funny and it's a good night out and all of those things, there's nothing quite like it. The rewards are proportionate to the amount of alarm and distress it causes you.

I really have no interest in delivering the iambic pentameter, I just want to kill myself. I don't mind other people doing it. I say that, but really I don't want to watch other people doing it. I get embarrassed.

My dad had a personal style which was very attractive. It was quite reserved and quite elegant, and it was infectious.

I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain.

In the street, people talk to you about all kinds of things, but by far, the most number of people talk to me about Love, Actually.

I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.

The job is the same - to attempt to make it sound like you've never said it before and as if it's just occurred to you. And that's the same whether you're on camera or whether you're on stage in a room full of people.

You tell yourself that you're not auditioning but of course you work like crazy, and you prepare like mad. And you think, Well, I won't get that job. But maybe they'll have another job sometime, and they'll remember that I was good.

I'm crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.

I don't seem to be able to learn from experience or anything useful. History doesn't help me. Precedents don't inform my experience.

The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.

I have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance.

I would like to change everything, but obviously not everything. I've been incredibly fortunate. I guess everybody would do this, but I'd go back to my younger self and say, Lighten up. Take it easy. Relax. Don't be so anxious about everything. Try to be in the day. Try to not have today stolen from you by anxiety about yesterday or tomorrow.

I'm not good at watching myself which I think is perfectly natural. I don't give myself a hard time about it. I am the worst critic.

You have all these plans to act, and maybe do it rather elegantly, and then they turn the rain machine on.

If you ask any actor What single thing would make you really, really happy? Among the top five things they'd say is not having to audition anymore.

One of my great regrets, and I don't have many, is that I spent too long putting people's status and reputation ahead of their more important qualities. I learned far too late in life that a long list of letters after someone's name is no guarantee of compassion, kindness, humour, all the far more relevant stuff.

I've always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I'm an actor, but felt sorry for me because they'd never seen anything I've done.
