With stage, you feel completely like you're just in a bubble. I love not being able to see anything. I love coming out and I can't see anything because the lights are so bright and it's pitch black. That's ideal for me, that's when I have the best time.

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

Often in America people would assume that [as an English actor] you've had some sort of deep, classical training, or that you're a Shakespeare enthusiast. I have zero interest in me performing Shakespeare.

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

Anti-Semitism and Fascism have a long, mysterious, bewildering, poisonous and vile history and it's not exclusive to the Germans.

It's probably healthier to find fame later in life.

A way of describing performances that I admire is that there is an absence of careerism. It's a clumsy way of describing it but it sort of does it for me.

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

If you are supposed to be villainous and have some sort of agenda, I like the idea of delivering that kind of character in a perfectly well-mannered way.

I am a fan of rehearsal. I like doing it [scene] over and over and over and over until it looks like you never did it before.

One of the reasons I like a suit is because I've never been that keen on my body. The shape a suit presents is always going to be better than anything I can do.

I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until I got one, and now they seem sort of meaningful and important.

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.
