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

I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.

I'm always happy when actors get rich, because the odds on it are so long!

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

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 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.

I'm not an actor who consciously accesses bits of my life, in order to play parts. Obviously, you don't need to have been a father to play one, otherwise everyone who's been a father would be able to act.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good.

I did actually sit down with a blank sheet of paper once. I think the phone rang and that was the end of my literary career.

I think in the old days, everybody used to act really quickly because Hollywood was built by theatre people.

When I do a play, it's like agreeing to be ill for a couple of months.
