To be serious, the things you really want to relive are things like bedtime with your daughter when she becomes incredibly entertaining 'cause she doesn't want to go to sleep. They're at their most enchanting 'cause they just want to put it off, so they do a cabaret for you. You sit there thinking, Please don't let this end.

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

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.

I'm a jacket man. And if I'm without one, I am kind of seriously disabled. I don't know how to operate in shirt sleeves.

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

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

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

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

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

If you ever see me in a social setting wearing any sort of sportswear, then you know I'm in crisis.

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.
