Quote

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.

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

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

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.

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

When it comes to casual clothing, my enthusiasm for clothes starts to waver.

I don't do plays without jokes anymore. I've retired from those plays. I think it's bad manners to invite people to sit in the dark for two and a half hours and not tell them the joke.

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

Standing in front of a fake mountain with fake snow falling and seven girls dressed as Santarettes will stay in my memory.

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

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 find it hard to relax around any man who's got the second button on his shirt undone.

You get older and you see yourself and say, 'God, he's old, who's that?'

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

I do think 3D has seriously improved, since I was a boy. It's fabulous.

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.

I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like.
