Quote

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 quoted David Hare one of his lines the other day to illuminate whatever point we were trying to make in the conversation, and I said 'What play was that?' and he said 'It was your line, you said it about a hundred and fifty times in The Vertical Hour.'

I'm not a World War II buff. I know a little bit about it, I was taught the other side of the story in school, so it was unfamiliar to me, the idea of a German resistance, and yet it was considerable.

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.

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

As you get older you feel you need to pay more attention to what is around you and relish it. I'm greedy for beauty.

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.

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.

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

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.

Hunger is almost like something the West does. It's almost like the direct result of the way the West performs.

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 like American black soul music, that was my first big enthusiasm.

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.
