All actors who have been around for a long time, which I have, and have been skint for long periods, which I have, find it difficult to turn down jobs. If I turn anything down my stomach turns over. I feel sick. It feels like gambling.

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

Image
When people warned me there would be long periods out of work if I became an actor, I couldn't keep a straight face because that was exactly what I had in mind.

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.

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

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.'

When you've been going on about something for a while, it is always satisfying to discover that other people agree with you.

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.

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

Image
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.

In the street, people talk to you about all kinds of things, but by far, the most number of people talk to me about Love, Actually.

I'm not a financial expert. The Robin Hood tax seems to me a very simple and beautiful idea. I don't see the problem.
